Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Karnataka Administrative Tribunal's decision to quash the clause regarding 'mutual transfer' of teachers in the Office Memorandum dated 07.04.2010, stating that transfers must comply with the KCS (Regulation of Transfers of Teachers) Act, 2007. The Court emphasized that the teachers appointed under the SSA Scheme were subject to specific conditions regarding their postings and workload, which did not align with the provisions of the Act. The appeal by the State of Karnataka was dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's ruling.
