BANK OF INDIA vs JAGJIT SINGH MEHTA

The Supreme Court held that Regulation 47 of the Bank of India (Officers’) Service Regulations, 1979 allows for transfers but does not grant a right to claim a specific posting based on a spouse's employment. The Court emphasized that while guidelines for posting spouses together exist, they do not create an enforceable right if departmental needs do not permit it. The appeal by the Bank was allowed, affirming that employees must accept the realities of service conditions, including potential transfers, when they voluntarily undertake promotions.
