Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the transfer of Dr. T.P. Senkumar from the position of State Police Chief before the completion of his two-year tenure, as mandated by Section 97 of The Kerala Police Act, 2011, was unjustified. The Court emphasized that such displacement requires serious consideration and valid reasons, which were absent in this case. Consequently, the Court held that the appellant's removal was arbitrary and restored his position as State Police Chief.
