Contractual Transfer Clauses Enforceable Absent Mala Fide | No Personal Hardship Overrides Managerial Prerogative : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court upholds that employers may enforce pre-agreed transfer clauses in employment contracts even after reinstatement, provided no mala fide intent is proven. Personal hardship, however significant, cannot override the employer's legitimate managerial discretion under service law. This reinforces contractual certainty for employers across industries with mobility clauses.
