SOMESH TIWARI vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of a transfer order affecting an Indian Revenue Service officer, which was based on an anonymous complaint alleging caste bias. The Court held that the High Court's decision to deny salary for the period following the transfer was incorrect, emphasizing that the officer's representation regarding his transfer was not adequately considered. The Court ruled that the officer should be entitled to his salary during the disputed period, thereby upholding the principles of fair administrative action and due process under Article 14 of the Constitution.
