There is no case worth going to court.

You have every right to sue your employer, but must also be ready to face flak in your proposed court case and also more problems to arise in your service period.

Is not a mystery that being a Gazetted Group 'A' Government servant you don't know even a simple fact that transfer is a condition of service and also Group A employees have all India transfer liability?

sir
i completely aware the fact my job is transferable throughout india and doing so in the the last thirty years.My question here is when i placed a request first time after three decades of service ,can my employer deny the privilege for my choice of place

A REQUEST is not always subject to acceptance. That depends upon the sole discretion of person/authority whom request made. There is no Rule in Government of India that a request must be accepted, of an employee, who rendered 30+ years of service.

When you are aware of the fact that your job is transferable throughout India, so where the question of non-validity or your transfer order or non acceptance of request arises?

If service does not suit you in the present circumstances, you may better take voluntary retirement with full pension after getting weightage of additional 5 years of service on voluntary retirement.

Yes employer is at liberty not to accept posting to choice place. No legal aspect involved.

Your non-joining at new place of posting (unless posting is modified) can attract disciplinary action at this stage of career.
