Supreme Court Issues Notice To P&H High Court On Plea Seeking Transparent Transfer Policy For Staff Of District Judiciary

Live Law  

The Supreme Court recently issued notice to the Punjab and Haryana High Court in a petition filed by a Court staff challenging his transfer. He contended that in the absence of a transfer policy, Grade III and IV employees working in subordinate courts under the High Court faced arbitrary transfers which are often punitive in nature. For fair adjudication and to prevent victimisation of employees who raise the issue of harassment, the committee should consist of retired HC judges.” The Supreme Court bench comprising Justices Hrishikesh Roy and Justice Sanjay Karol was hearing a Special Leave Petition filed against a High Court judgment which had dismissed the petitioner’s plea to consider his representation for transferring him back to Ludhiana. Adv Prashant Bhushan alleged that there was continuous harassment faced by Grade III and IV employees within the Punjab & Haryana High Court, which has reportedly led to employees resigning from their positions.
