Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the principle that a government servant has no vested right to remain in a particular posting and can be transferred based on administrative exigencies, as established in State of U.P. v. Gobardhan Lal (2004) 11 SCC 402. The Court emphasized that transfers should not be interfered with unless they violate statutory provisions or are made in bad faith. The appeals by both the Writ Petitioner and Respondent No. 5 were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision regarding the legality of the transfer orders.
