Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the transfer of an Assistant Commissioner of Customs, which was challenged by the respondent on grounds of procedural irregularities. The court examined the jurisdiction of the Central Administrative Tribunal and the High Court in matters of service transfers. Ultimately, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's interim order, allowing the respondent to remain in his position until the matter was conclusively resolved.
