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