new transfer policy Haryana Block system ये हैं मुख्य बिंदू
अंक भी बनेगे आधार
तबादले का आधार अंक भी बनेंगे। उम्र के 80 नंबर हैं जबकि 20 नंबर अन्य कैटेगरी मसलन महिला, विधवा, बीमारी, जोड़ा या अन्य से संबंधित रखे गए हैं। अगर किसी ने ग्रामीण क्षेत्र में नौकरी की है तो उसे भी ध्यान में रखा जाएगा। किसी भी स्कूल में (लड़कियों के स्कूल छोड़कर) 50 फीसदी से यादा महिला टीचर्स नहीं होंगी। सीधी भर्ती या प्रमोशन वाले टीचर्स को जोन एक और दो में तैनाती नहीं मिलेगी। टीचर्स तबादले के लिए जो ऑप्शन देंगे, वे 10 साल तक उसे नहीं बदल सकेंगे मगर अविवाहित महिला टीचर्स को शादी होने के बाद यह अवसर दिया जाएगा।
"साफ्टवेयर तैयार किया जा रहा है। यह अंतिम चरण में है। तबादले साफ्टवेयर से ही होंगे।"

Haryana told to relook transfer policy for teacher couples
THE POLICY ALLOWS ONLY THE WIFE TO REQUEST FOR TRANSFER TO HUSBAND’S STATIONCHANDIGARH: While holding that the transfer policy for elementary teachers of the state was not fulfilling the purpose sought to be achieved for working couples, the Punjab and Haryana high court has asked the Haryana government to re-examine it. The high court bench of justices Rajive Bhalla and Hari Pal Verma stated that the principle underlining the clauses of 2012 inter-district transfer policy was to ensure that couples and their children reside together, but it operates only if the wife wanted to be posted to the place of her husband’s posting.
“A situation may arise and often does where a wife is posted at a better station. The couple may want the husband to join the wife but as a husband cannot file an application and a wife has no right to request that her husband be posted at the place of her posting, the clauses, as framed, thus, would never allow such a couple to live together,” the high court bench observed.
The high court was dealing with a petition filed by a teacher couple. While the husband is posted at Gurgaon, the wife is posted at Jhajhar.
The couple had requested for the husband’s transfer to Jhajhar. However, the government had rejected their request stating that clauses 7, 8 and 10 of the policy allowed only a female to seek transfer. Though the high court bench did not issue any direction on transfer of the couple, it directed the government to have a relook at the policy, stating that the clauses of the policy did not fulfil the object sought to be achieved from the policy.
As per the policy, only junior basic trained (JBT) female teachers could seek transfer to her husband’s place of posting. Any such teacher whose husband was either working with the education or other departments, irrespective of the cadre, could apply for the transfer.
The state argued that the policy was immune to judicial review. However, the court said: “The executive is required to ensure that a policy abides by all constitutional and statutory safeguards, and if a policy is discriminatory or arbitrary or both, it cannot be shielded from judicial review, subject, however, to any constitutional protection.
