Judicial Bifurcation | Optional Transfer Rights Must Be Honored Without Administrative Delay : Calcutta High Court

The Calcutta High Court ruled that judicial staff who lawfully exercised their transfer options post-bifurcation cannot be denied relocation due to administrative delays. The court mandated preservation of seniority and immediate processing of transfers for sanctioned posts, rejecting the District Judge's decision to suspend transfer provisions pending vacancy assessment. This judgment reinforces the binding nature of optional transfer rights under service law.
