Transfer Policy Violation | Frequent Transfers Without Replacement Violate Natural Justice; HC Stays Order Pending Representation : MP HC Gwalior

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has stayed the transfer of an Associate Professor after finding that repeated relocations without replacement violate procedural fairness under Article 226. The court mandated a decision on his representation within three weeks, reinforcing that administrative transfers must respect legitimate expectations and institutional continuity, especially when a faculty member is the sole subject expert in their discipline.
