STATE OF M.P. vs S.S. KOURAV

The Supreme Court upheld the transfer order of the respondent, an Executive Engineer, from Bhopal to Jagdalpur, stating that the Administrative Tribunal erred in quashing the transfer on the grounds of lack of Governor's approval. The Court clarified that the approval of the Governor was obtained through the Adviser, who acted on behalf of the Governor, thus fulfilling the requirement under the business rules. The Court emphasized that administrative decisions regarding transfers should not be interfered with unless proven to be made in bad faith or based on extraneous considerations, affirming the validity of the transfer order.
