NATIONAL HYDROELECTRIC POWER CORPN.LTD. vs BHAGWAN ETC.

The Supreme Court upheld the appeals against the Punjab and Haryana High Court's order that quashed the transfers of employees of the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation Limited, stating that the transfers were consistent with the terms of employment and the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946. The Court clarified that the High Court erred in interpreting the seniority rules, which do not bar transfers between different units. The Court emphasized that transfers are an incident of service and should not be interfered with unless malafides are proven, which was not established in this case.
