Major General J.K. Bansal vs Union Of India And Others

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's writ petition challenging his transfer to Defence Research and Development Establishment (DRDE), Gwalior, on grounds of malafide. The Court found that the transfer was justified as the appellant was absorbed in the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and was deemed suitable for a new project. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, stating that there was no merit in the allegations of malafide transfer or accommodation of another officer.
