Case Summary: K. Gopakumar v. P.K. Ayyappan The Supreme Court heard K. Gopakumar's appeal challenging his transfer order on October 29, 2001. The Court found that Gopakumar's transfer was made solely to accommodate a promotee and was unjust given his imminent retirement, and that the respondents failed to file a counter-affidavit despite two prior adjournments. The Court set aside both the High Court's order and the transfer order itself, finding the High Court erred in passing its order during contempt proceedings.
