Service Law | Permanent Posting Cannot Be Disguised as Temporary Attachment: Chhattisgarh HC Quashes Illegal Relief Order

Chhattisgarh High Court ruled that a 2014 transfer order to a lecturer constituted a permanent posting, not a temporary attachment. The court set aside a subsequent relief order by the Principal under a circular, holding it illegal and violative of natural justice principles. The judgment reinforces that administrative actions must align with substantive postings, not mere procedural formalities.
