CIVIL APPEAL NO.1579 OF 2008
(Arising out of SLP(C) No.20006/2006)
Leave granted.
Heard learned counsel for the parties.
We are told that respondent no.1 has joined the place where he is transferre
d on
21.12.2006. Nothing, therefore survives in the matter. Transfer is an incidence of service
.
The order of the High Court interfering with the transfer is set aside.
The appeal is allowed accordingly.
However, the respondent would be at liberty to pursue his claim for arrears
in
accordance with law, in respect of the period he has not been paid salary i.e. from February
to December, 2006. This observation is not, however, to be construed as recognizing or
accepting his claims.
