Supreme Court Rejects Doctors' Plea Against Bengaluru Transfer Orders
The Supreme Court declined to hear a plea by government doctors challenging their transfer from Bengaluru, citing the city's allure. The court emphasized that resisting relocation based on the cosmopolitan lifestyle is not justified.
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court declined to hear a plea by a group of government doctors challenging their transfer orders from Bengaluru. The court remarked that the city's cosmopolitan lifestyle is 'very alluring' but not grounds to resist relocation. The bench observed that there was no prejudice caused by transferring the doctors out of Bengaluru.
The court was hearing a petition filed by doctors against the Karnataka State Civil Services (Regulation of Transfer of Medical Officers and other Staff) Rules, 2025, which govern the transfer of medical personnel in the state's Health and Family Welfare Department. The Karnataka high court had earlier refused to stay the implementation of the 2025 rules.
The petitioners argued that the government provided only a week's time to submit objections to the draft rules, which they claimed was inadequate. They also contended that the draft rules made no mention of 'Greater Bengaluru' and that its inclusion in the final notification was impermissible under the law.
