Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the interim order of the Chhattisgarh High Court that stayed the transfer of an incumbent, emphasizing that courts should generally refrain from interfering in transfer matters unless compelling circumstances are present. The Court directed that the Writ Appeal be heard and disposed of expeditiously within three months. The holding reinforces the principle of non-interference in administrative transfer decisions.
