Based on the said inspection report, the 2nd respondent passed an order dated 13.08.2016 vide Na.Ka.No.1877/A5/2016, in and by which the petitioners were redeployed from Kundrathur Union to various schools in and around other blocks at Kanchipuram District. It is stated by the petitioners that they are permanent residents of Chennai and it is difficult for them to shift their residence to the place nearby to the schools to which they have now been deployed. Further, they are spending considerable amount of time, money and energy for transportation to reach the schools from their respective residences. In this regard, the petitioners made representations dated 24.08.2016 to the respondents, requesting for preferential transfer to any of the school situated within Kundrathur Union or nearby areas, in the event of any vacancy or sanctioned post arises. Since the petitioners' representations were not considered by the respondents, they have come forward with the present writ petition.
