The Kerala Administrative Tribunal (KAT) on Friday stayed the general transfers of higher secondary school teachers in the State.
The Principal Bench of the tribunal led by chairman C.K. Abdul Rehim issued an interim order on the basis of a plea by six English higher secondary school teachers who faulted the transfer proceedings by the General Education department this year.
The petitioners, all of them from Thiruvananthapuram and had applied for transfers to their home station, approached the KAT citing the transfers violated the prescribed norms since they had been finalised without inviting applications from those eligible.
