A petition that was filed in the Madras High Court in Chennai alleged that there has been multiple cases of irregularities in the transfer of teachers in government schools. While hearing the petition, a Bench asked the Department of Education in Tamil Nadu to submit a ‘true list’ of teachers who had been transferred after the online counselling was completed.
The directive was given on Thursday (13 December). The Bench consisting of Justice KK Sasidharan and Justice AD Audikesavalu passed the directive. This has been done after a contradiction in data was pointed out. The reply given by the department in response to an RTI application shows different numbers as compared to the copy that had been submitted to the HC by the Secretary, Education, India Today reported.
The Education Secretary has been told that there lies no truth in the list that has been submitted to the HC that contains data on the general transfer of teachers.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
