Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Jharkhand High Court directing the State of Bihar to accept Dr. Chaitraya Kumar Singh as its employee on transfer from Jharkhand. The court noted that the first respondent had opted for Bihar during the bifurcation and that both states had consented to his reallocation. The judgment emphasized the importance of mutual consent in employee transfers post-reorganization of states.
