Understand the adjustment decision like this.
For example, one school has 10 teachers, another school has 3 teachers, where there are 10 teachers, 8 are needed. Until now, it has happened that where there are 10 teachers, 2 teachers are removed and placed in another school with a smaller number of teachers. What happens in the adjustment is that the teacher who is assigned later is eliminated first. Whereas what should be there should have been removed. There was a debate on this matter. Which has been canceled by the court. The court has said that you have to make a policy first and then adjust it.
The court has taken an important decision regarding the adjustment process being carried out in the Department of Basic Education of Uttar Pradesh since 2011. The court has found that the “last in, first out” rule implemented in this process goes against articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution. This means that new teachers always have a lower priority and are excluded from the transfer policy, while veteran teachers remain posted in one place for a long time. The court has passed this order in the case of Reena Singh and others vs. State of Uttar Pradesh. The court believes this process is unfair to junior teachers and benefits veteran teachers.
