    Case Summary: WP(C)/2860/2026 Outcome: The Gauhati High Court granted an interim stay of the transfer order. The petitioner, an Assistant Administrative Officer at LIC Guwahati promoted to Administrative Officer, was transferred to Bardhaman, West Bengal despite being 57 years old and arguing eligibility for exemption under the Transfer and Mobility Policy (which protects officers 58+ from transfer on promotion). The court found merit in his claims that similarly-situated junior officers were retained at Guwahati and ordered the impugned transfer order stayed pending next hearing on 19.06.2026. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
