Registrar Gen vs R.Perachi & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Madras High Court's decision to quash the transfer of the first respondent, a Sheristadar in the Tamil Nadu Judicial Service, from District Thoothukudi to District Ramanathapuram. The Court ruled that the first respondent retained his lien on his post despite the transfer, thus entitling him to be considered for the promotion to Personal Assistant to the District Judge in Thoothukudi. The Court directed the restoration of the first respondent to his original post with seniority, emphasizing the importance of administrative fairness in promotions.
