Tacit Consent for Deputation | Silence & Continued Service Infer Implied Agreement Under Service Law : Calcutta HC

Calcutta High Court rules that employees transferred on deputation without express consent cannot later challenge the posting if they accepted the role, drew salaries, and remained silent for over a year. The court holds that conduct implying acceptance-such as continued service-constitutes tacit consent, binding employees under public sector standing orders.
