Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the procedural issues arising from public interest litigations concerning the transfer of the appellant, who was not initially a party to the proceedings. The Court noted that the appellant's transfer order was questioned in the writ petitions, and emphasized the importance of fair procedure in administrative actions affecting public servants. The Court upheld the necessity for proper representation and due process in such cases, ultimately dismissing the appeal against the imposition of costs by the High Court.
