 "HC directs Chief Educational Officer to file report")
The Madras High Court today directed the Chief Education Officer here to file a report on the allegations made by a teacher, who was transferred from Sivaganga district to Tiruppalai, that the officials had hidden facts to the court by claiming that she did not join the new school even after one month of her transfer.
The petitioner P Sangeetha in her petition said another teacher Girija was transferred to Tiruppalai in her place.
The Chief Education Officer (CEO) told the court that she did not know why Girija, who did not participate in the counselling, was transferred to Tiruppalai school when Sangeetha had been transferred as per Government Order after she participated in the counselling.
She contended that the Madurai CEO said that the transfer order would be communicated to the CEO of Sivaganga for relieving her from Puzhithipatti school. But he did not convey the transfer order to the Sivaganga CEO. This had been confirmed by Sivaganga CEO and also the Headmaster of the school where she was working, the petitioner said.
She said the CEO of Madurai was not correct when she said that she did not join the Tiruppalai school till August 22, 2012.
She was not relieved from Puzhipatti.
Justice S Nagamuthu refused to accept the statement of the CEO that she was new to Madurai and asked the CEO office superintendent if he did not know the truth behind the sudden transfer of another person.
The Judge directed the CEO to consult the Director and Joint Director and file a report tommorow. The judge said officials had violated the Government Order which said transfer should be done only for those who participated in the counselling.
