GOVT. OF A.P. vs G. VENKATA RATNAM

The Supreme Court criticized the High Court's judgment regarding the transfer of an employee in the Archaeology Department, stating it was delivered in anger and lacked judicial restraint. The Court emphasized that transfer is an incidence of service and should not be interfered with lightly, citing the need to prevent vested interests and address administrative exigencies. The Court ultimately held that the High Court's conclusions were unfounded and inappropriate, thereby overturning the High Court's decision.
