Jagdish Ram v. the State of Rajasthan
Case brief
What is this about?
This order addressed four connected writ petitions concerning the transfer and pay differences (TA & DA) of teachers in Rajasthan. A coordinate bench had already decided the core controversy. Petitions involving active disputes were allowed, granting a liberty to pass new transfer orders. A petition rendered infructuous by the cancellation of the transfer was dismissed.
What did the court decide?
Writ petitions allowed (with liberty to pass new transfer orders not operating post 16.10.2023) except where transferred order already cancelled, making the petition infructuous.
