Full Judgment
(Prayer: Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for the issuance of a Writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to consider the petitioner's seniority at the 1st place in the Promotion panel as on 01.01.2016 for promotion to the post of B.T. Assistant (English) in Thirupparankundram Panchayat Union and to promote and post the petitioner as BT Assistant in English in the existing vacancy of BT Assistant (English) at Thirupparankundram panchayat union Middle school at Periyar Nagar or any other vacancy in other middle school functioning under Thirupparankundram Panchayat Union Jurisdiction.)
1. Mr.M.Amalorpavam, is a Secondary Grade Teacher and presently serving in the Panchayat Union Elementary School at Samanatham. The next avenue of promotion to her is B.T. Assistant. Since 2016, she has been shown as No.1 in the Common Promotion Panel prepared by the respondents. While so, according to the counseling scheduled on 06.08.2016, B.T.promotion should be made first and then transfer from one union to union or district to union will take place. However, the respondents herein are trying to transfer a B.T.Assistant (English) working in some other union to the B.T.Assistant (English) vacancy existing at the Thirupparankundram Panchayat Union Middle School, Periyar Nagar, in order to deprive the opportunity available to the petitioner. Stating all these facts, the petitioner has addressed a representation to the respondents, dated 25.07.2016, which not having evoked any response, she is before this Court.
2. Mr.R.Anadharaj, learned Government Advocate was put on notice for the respondents.
