S.B.I. vs ANJAN SANYAL

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Calcutta High Court which set aside the transfer order of a State Bank officer, citing principles of service law. The Court emphasized that an employee cannot be compelled to join a transfer if the transfer order is arbitrary or unjustified. The Court found that the respondent's prolonged absence was not sufficient grounds for the transfer, thus ruling in favor of the employee and maintaining the High Court's judgment.
