Summary: Vimalavathi filed a complaint against the Tamil Nadu Education Department about a promotion issue. She later dropped it, and here's what happened.

Who's Involved?

The main person here is Vimalavathi, who filed a complaint. The case was against the State of Tamil Nadu, represented by its Secretary from the Department of School Education, along with some educational officers from Ramanathapuram District. The complaint was heard by Judge Abdul Quddhose.

What's the Complaint About?

Vimalavathi wanted her name included at the top of a promotion list for Middle School Headmaster. She believed the current list was wrong and wanted it changed. She referred to a specific rule from the Tamil Nadu Government Servants (Conditions of Service) Act, 2016, and a previous court decision from 2019 to support her case.

"Asking this Court to issue an order to review and change the decision..."

Who Represented the Parties?

  • For Vimalavathi: Mr. M. Prabu
  • For the State: Mr. S. Shaji Bino, Special Government Lawyer
  • For Other Respondents: Mr. K. Ragathees Kumar

What Happened in Court?

On the day of the hearing, Vimalavathi's lawyer asked to drop the complaint. The case was listed under "for withdrawal," and her lawyer confirmed this request in court.

"The lawyer for Vimalavathi has sent a letter asking for the matter to be listed as ‘for withdrawal’..."

Final Decision

Judge Abdul Quddhose dismissed the complaint as withdrawn. There were no costs involved, and any related additional requests were also closed.

What's Next?

With the complaint withdrawn, the current promotion list stays as it is. Vimalavathi's request to be placed at the top of the list won't be considered further in this case.
