S.Surjit Singh v. Director of Education and Ors

ORDER %

24.07.2013 Counsel for the parties agree that the only issue in this case is the entitlement of a school to transfer an employee to another school or to any other institution being run by Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee. I have had an occasion to consider this aspect in the case of Satbir Singh and Anr. Vs. Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee and Anr. in W.P.(C) No. 8060/2007 decided on 1.5.2013, wherein I have held that employee of a school will be an employee of the school itself and not of any other body or society. Therefore: I have struck down the transfer order by which a teacher or employee of one school is transferred to another page 3 of4 school. Adopting the ratio of the aforesaid judgment, these writ petitions are allowed and the impugned orders transferring the petitioners are quashed. The writ petitions are disposed of accordingly.
