The HC has upheld the decision of Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) which had rejected the officer’s plea to dismiss the government order. 

The High Court division bench of Justices Augustine George Masih and Ashok Kumar Verma said “ It would not be out of way to mention here that transfer is an incident of service and no government servant has a vested right to remain posted at a place of his choice nor can an employee dictate terms with regard to his place of posting. The said power is vested in the employer, who is to exercise the said powers as per the administrative exigencies keeping in view the public interest unless it involves any adverse impact on the career or further prospects”.

Ravi Prakash Gupta had contended in the plea that he is physically handicapped (100 per cent visually impaired).

IAS officer was allocated to Chhattisgarh cadre pursuant to a policy decision for transfer of disabled persons, he was transferred to Haryana cadre in October 2015.
