    Case Summary: The High Court of Punjab and Haryana allowed petitioner Sooba Singh, an Air Force employee, to remain posted at GE (Chandigarh) until his retirement in July 2028, despite a 2022 transfer order to AGE (I) High Ground. Though acknowledging the employer's general right to transfer employees for administrative exigencies, the court made an exception based on Singh's exceptional circumstances—approximately two years remaining until retirement and prior compliance with an interim court order allowing him to work at Chandigarh—permitting him to continue there unless his conduct necessitates transfer. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
