Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the petition challenging the transfer of the petitioner from the Bihar Administrative Service to the Bihar Education Service without a hearing. The court found that the petitioner had served for 15 years and was not given an opportunity to present his case before the transfer, which violated principles of natural justice. The court ruled in favor of the petitioner, emphasizing the need for fair procedure in administrative actions.
