Article 21 | Administrative Inaction on Security-Based Teacher Transfer Violates Right to Life and Personal Security : CAT Srinagar
The Central Administrative Tribunal holds that prolonged delay in deciding a teacher's transfer request on verified security grounds constitutes a violation of her Article 21 rights, compelling authorities to act within a fixed timeline. This ruling reinforces that public employers cannot treat humanitarian and safety concerns as discretionary when lives are at risk, setting a precedent for vulnerable government employees in conflict-affected regions.
