Quick Summary

A public sector bank employee with 15 years of service is facing difficulties due to frequent transfers away from his family, especially as his wife has exhausted her request transfers. He is seeking advice on legal remedies to manage his professional and family life, particularly after a recent transfer to a remote location while on medical leave. While legal recourse is limited as transfers are administrative matters, making a strong representation to higher authorities on compassionate grounds with supporting documents is recommended.

You can again request your bank's General Manager to consider your transfer request on medical grounds. There is no legal remedy as your wife already availed the benefit of spouse working.

A male bank employees generally have the right to apply for and potentially receive a social place transfer, but it's not guaranteed and depends on the bank's transfer policy and specific circumstances.
While policies often outline broad transfer guidelines, including the ability to transfer for administrative reasons or upon promotion, individual situations, like spouse's employment, can be considered.
Employees can request transfers, but these are subject to administrative needs and approval.
In some cases, the bank might consider the employee's family situation, including the employment of their spouse, when making transfer decisions.

The request is not legal enforceable. Matter of discretion only.

It is the settled legal position that "transfer" is an administrative matter and the scope of legal remedy of employee against the same is very limited . Therefore, prudent for you to make a proper representation to your Bank's higher ups explaining your circumstances for sympathetic consideration.

It is pure administrative policy of employer bank, which cannot be claimed as a matter of right.
You may apply to the GM / CMD of the Bank through proper channel for posting on extreme compassionate grounds giving all details / documents.
