Calcutta High Court Restores Teacher's Pension and Overturns Transfer Denial Order

The Calcutta High Court recently addressed two distinct cases involving teachers. In one, it restored full pension benefits to retired headmaster Chittaranjan Roy after a 47-year legal dispute, balancing equity with delays in the case. In another, the court set aside a West Bengal government order denying a Sanskrit teacher's transfer request, ruling the decision flawed for not applying updated 2021 transfer rules and emphasizing fairness and reasonableness in administrative actions.
