Key Principle Established
Transfer of police constables must follow the government transfer policy. Punitive transfer without disciplinary proceedings is prohibited. Transfer cannot be used as a tool of harassment.
A police constable in Haryana challenged his frequent transfers as punitive and violative of the government’s own transfer policy, arguing they were used as a tool of harassment.
The Court held:
