Union Of India vs Mamta Anurag Sharma And Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's directive for the Union of India to consider the transfer request of Smt. Mamta Anurag Sharma from West Bengal to Andhra Pradesh under the new guidelines for inter-cadre transfers of All India Services Officers, emphasizing the importance of marital considerations in such transfers. The Court found that the High Court's order was not a misconstruction of the guidelines but rather an implementation of them, thereby affirming the High Court's decision. The judgment reinforces the principle that inter-cadre transfers can be granted based on marriage to facilitate family unity.
