Transfer to lower post

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 17 July 2011 This query is : Resolved
Sir,
I am serving in a Paramilitary force. I belong to Ministerial Staff (Office Staff Cadre) and holding the rank of an Inspector. Recently my department has issued transfer order to another office against a vacancy of Asstt.Sub Inspector without assigning any reason. Please advise me whether the above transfer order can be challenged in the court, if so then please provide me citations of higher courts or the order is valid as per service law.

Such an order is illegal. Since you are in the rank of Inspector you cannot be posted in the place of Asst Sub Inspector. You can challenge the same.
