Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the orders of transfer of employees from the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation were valid as they were made in accordance with the terms of employment and recruitment rules, which allow for transfers within the service. The Court found that the High Court erred in ruling that transfers between different seniority units required consent, as the rules did not impose such a restriction. The appeals were allowed, overturning the High Court's decision to quash the transfer orders, thereby affirming the Corporation's authority to transfer employees as per service conditions.
