Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal of Dr. Lakshmi Narayan Singh, setting aside the judgments of the High Court regarding his transfer as a Medical Officer. The Court found that the appellant had been treated as a teacher based on a prior judgment from 2008, which had become final. The Court clarified that this decision is based on the peculiar facts of the case and should not be treated as a precedent.
