Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of transfer orders issued by the Prasar Bharati Corporation under the Prasar Bharati (Broadcasting Corporation of India) Act, 1990, specifically examining Section 11 which governs the transfer of employees from the Central Government to the Corporation. The Court held that the transfer orders were invalid as they did not comply with the statutory provisions, particularly the lack of prior deputation orders. Consequently, the Court upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal which quashed the transfer orders, affirming the rights of the employees under the Act.
