Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the State of Uttar Pradesh to pay 50% of the back wages and grant consequential benefits to Dr. Manoj Kumar Sharma, a Medical Officer transferred from Uttarakhand. The court found that the transfer was valid and the delay in payment of wages was unjustified. Consequently, the appeal by the State was dismissed, affirming the rights of the petitioner under the service rules.
