    The Bombay High Court dismissed the writ petition challenging the transfer of two teachers (aged 48-49, with 28 years of service in simple areas) to a difficult area. The court held that the transfer order was valid and that teachers must contribute to state development by serving in difficult areas before age 53, after which they would not be posted in such areas.
