D. SURYA SATYAVATHI vs GOVT. OF A.P. — C.A. No. 6561 - 6562/1995

Summary: The Supreme Court allowed D. Surya Satyavathi's appeals on 19 March 2002, setting aside the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal's orders that had quashed her transfer from Zone V to Zone VII (dated 23 December 1992). The Court found that since the transfer was issued in public interest and the appellant had been working in Zone VII for nearly a decade while private respondents were also promoted to lecturer posts in the interim, quashing the transfer at that distant point in time would not serve justice. No costs were awarded, and the point of law was kept open. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
