    SUMMARY The Jharkhand High Court quashed a transfer order posting Dr. Pushplata to Barhait, Sahibganj, holding that it violated the state's 1980 transfer policy which requires consideration of employee convenience when posting near retirement. The court found the respondents failed to justify deviating from this policy despite Dr. Pushplata's medical conditions (autoimmune diseases) and imminent superannuation on 30.06.2026, and directed posting her preferably near Ranchi with arrears of salary released within eight weeks. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
