REGISTRAR GEN. vs R.PERACHI .

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 Thoothukudi to Ramanathapuram. The Court found that the transfer was unjustified as it hindered the first respondent's promotion to the post of Personal Assistant to the District Judge, which he was entitled to based on seniority. The Court directed the restoration of the first respondent to his original post in Thoothukudi with his seniority intact, emphasizing the importance of adhering to proper administrative procedures in promotions and transfers.
