Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the principle that the High Court should not interfere in transfer orders unless there are exceptional circumstances. The Court noted that the respondent's repeated refusal to comply with transfer orders and his unauthorized absence from duty were significant factors. The Court ultimately dismissed the appeal of the State Bank of India, affirming the High Court's decision to set aside the transfer order under the premise that it was not a simple transfer case but involved issues of harassment and procedural irregularities.
