Hon’ble Pankaj Purohit, J.

Mr. G.P.Awasthi, learned counsel for petitioner.

2. Mr. Anil Dabral, learned Addl. C.S.C. for the State.

3. The petitioner was working with the respondent-department as Assistant Teacher in primary school Kharsi, Block Chakrata, District Dehradun. Due to certain inaction on the part of petitioner the salary of two days i.e. 15.08.2025 and 13.04.2026 was withheld by the respondent-department. However, now the said salary of two aforesaid dates has been released in favour of the petitioner. Thus, prayer no. 1 of the writ petition no longer survives.

4. The petitioner submits that the petitioner is unable to work at the aforesaid primary school due to strained relations between the petitioner and the Deputy Education Officer of the area and therefore he should be transferred from that primary school to any other school in the district.

5. It is also submitted by the petitioner that he has already made a representation to respondent no.3- District Education Officer (Elementary

6.
