Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that under the Rationalization Scheme of the State Government, petitioner has been transferred from Government Higher Secondary School, Keshavpur, Ambikapur, District – Sarguja to Government Higher Secondary School, Block – Magarlod, District – Dhamtari. He contended that the petitioner is a patient suffering from kidney problems and also underwent kidney transplant in 2008 and is taking continuous treatment. Petitioner has also submitted a representation against his transfer, however, it was rejected arbitrarily by the Divisional Level Committee vide order dated 25.09.2025.

¶27

On the other hand, learned counsel for the Respondents/State opposes the submission of learned counsel for the petitioner and would submit that the medical document which is enclosed along with the writ petition is of the year 2008–09 and no recent document has been enclosed. She however submits that the petitioner has even not raised a ground that any other similarly situated Lecturer is posted in nearby place under the Rationalization Scheme.
