1980 State Resolution | Final-Year Posting Must Consider Convenience of Retiring Officer : Jharkhand HC

The Jharkhand High Court has ruled that the state’s own 1980 policy requiring administrative authorities to consider the convenience of government employees in their last year of service is binding and must be applied with reasoned justification. This sets a critical precedent for medical officers and other service personnel facing arbitrary transfers near retirement, reinforcing natural justice in administrative postings.
