Sri Nagarajappa C v. the Director
Case brief
What is this about?
A writ petition challenging a transfer order on grounds of mid-academic-year transfer, absence of Chief Minister's approval, and political motivation was dismissed where the petitioner had already completed his minimum tenure under applicable transfer guidelines; upon completion of minimum tenure the employer was entitled to transfer him. The court noted that if a respondent employee brought political pressure to secure the transfer, the employer was at liberty to take action under the Conduct Rules.
