    Summary: The High Court at Calcutta (Port Blair) held that while transfer is not a matter of right for contractual employees, Dr. Smily John's transfer order to Diglipur Island was kept in abeyance. Given her age (59) and medical condition, the court granted her liberty to submit a proper medical certificate from a duly constituted Medical Board and directed authorities to reconsider the transfer based on such certificate by July 31, 2026, though this does not guarantee exemption from transfer. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
