Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the transfer of Assistant Deputy Education Inspectors (ADEIs) to lower posts without proper seniority consideration violated Articles 14, 16, and 311 of the Constitution of India. The Court emphasized that the posts of ADEI and Assistant Teachers are distinct under recruitment rules, and their transfer based on a provisional seniority list was unlawful. The Court set aside the High Court's judgment that had overturned the Tribunal's dismissal of the original applications, thereby reinstating the Tribunal's decision.
