What is this about?
This writ petition challenged an order returning the petitioner school's application to fill a vacant post. The High Court held that if surplus teacher redeployment is not possible within three months, the vacancy must be filled by a new appointment to avoid affecting student interests. The impugned order was set aside on these terms.
What did the court decide?
Respondents directed to fill vacancy by redeploying surplus teachers within three months; failing which, petitioner directed to appoint eligible teacher.
