Summary

The petitioner challenged the premature transfer from Jodhpur to Tezpur. HELD- Administrative power of transfer is not unbridled; deviation from an established minimum-tenure policy requires exceptional circumstances supported by cogent reasons. Mere “administrative exigency” is insufficient. Non-consideration of compelling medical circumstances and the representation vitiated the decision for non-application of mind. Transfer quashed; fresh order permitted in accordance with policy.
