    Case Summary: WPS 4310/2026 Decision: The High Court of Chhattisgarh dismissed the writ petition filed by Dewesh Kumar Trivedi, a District Project Coordinator in the health department, who challenged a transfer order dated 6.5.2026 that prevented his continued posting in Durg district. Key Reasoning: The court held that the State Nodal Agency's policy decision—requiring employees with five years of service to be posted outside their current district—is a legitimate policy matter beyond judicial review. Following its earlier decision in WPS 4121/2026, the court emphasized that transfer/posting decisions are within executive discretion and cannot be interfered with unless vitiated by mala fides or statutory violations. Courts have limited scope to review expert statutory body decisions on policy matters. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
