Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that no employee has a legal right to be posted at any particular place, emphasizing that transfers are necessary for public interest and administrative efficiency. The Court found that the respondent's unauthorized absence from duty constituted a breach of service Regulation No. 113, leading to his discharge from service. The Court ultimately reversed the High Court's decision, reinstating the discharge order and dismissing the respondent's writ petition.
