      HON'BLE DR. JUSTICE PUSHPENDRA SINGH BHATI
              HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SANDEEP SHAH

                                    ORDER

20/01/2026

1. The instant appeals have been preferred under Rule 134 of

Rajasthan High Court Rules, 1952 read with Article 225 of the

Constitution of India against the judgments dated 14.02.2025,

17.02.2025, 03.03.2025, whereby the writ petitions filed by the

(Uploaded on 23/01/2026 at 01:44:56 PM)

[2026:RJ-JD:3523-DB] (20 of 22) [SAW-854/2025]

respondents challenging the transfer orders impugned therein,

were allowed and the said transfer orders were quashed and set

aside with liberty to pass fresh orders, if occasion so arises.

2. The respondents (writ petitioners), being Skilled, Semi-

skilled and Unskilled staff members of the appellants-Power

Distribution Company, had challenged the mass transfer orders

issued by the appellants. The writ petitions were disposed of on

the following terms:

"15. In the premise, the impugned transfer orders of the petitioners, who are stated to be the staff members either belonging to unskilled/semi-skilled and/or skilled (Category 'A' or 'B') have been transferred, are set aside, with liberty to pass fresh orders. Endeavor shall be made to keep them within the same division, subject of course to the administrative exigencies at the place to be determined at the discretion of the competent authority.

16. Before parting, I may hasten to add that it is not for this Court to substitute its own discretion to determine the work exigencies as has been argued on behalf of the petitioners, asserting that they should be allowed to continue on the same post at same place, since their transfers are not caused by any existing administrative exigency and/or are not in the interest of Discom. The said decision is, left open to the administrative experts. However, such work exigencies must be balanced against employee rights and service rules vis-à-vis humanitarian considerations in deserving cases, upon due verification thereof. Fresh transfer orders, wherever warranted, shall thus be passed only after considering administrative necessity/discom interest while ensuring employees remain within their sub division/ division, as per their respective seniority being maintained.

17. All the writ petitions stand disposed of accordingly."

3. Mr. Ravi Bhansali, learned Senior Counsel assisted by

Mr.Bhavit Sharma ; Mr. Manoj Bhandari, learned Senior Counsel

assisted by Mr. Shubham Modi, appearing on behalf of the

appellants, submit that they are not averse to the transfers having

been set aside at that juncture, as sufficient liberty has already

been granted by the learned Single Bench to pass fresh transfer

[2026:RJ-JD:3523-DB] (21 of 22) [SAW-854/2025]

orders in administrative exigency, but the only issue which they

are agitating is the condition imposed by learned Single Bench

that if any fresh transfer is made in administrative exigency, it

shall be ensured that the employees remain within their respective

sub-division and division as per their seniority being maintained.

4. Learned counsel for the respondents, at length, submit that

there has been an established procedure, practice and

understanding, which have been arrived at through various policy

decisions, having been duly considered by the learned Single

Bench.

5. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the

material available on record.

6. This Court is of the firm opinion that today the appellants'

role in the operations has completely transformed; the department

is now operating as a Company and competitive functionality in

the essential function of electricity supply is being rendered.

Transfer is a matter of administrative exigency and policies

regarding transfers are subject to change. The undisputed fact is

that the latest Transfer Policy dated 16.03.2018 is presently in

vogue and has to be adhered to by the appellants.

7. Learned Senior Counsel for the appellants have also

informed that appropriate amendments in the regulations

presently do not require the seniority list to have any impact, as

time-bound promotions are taking place in the cadre of Technical

Helper.

[2026:RJ-JD:3523-DB] (22 of 22) [SAW-854/2025]

8. Thus, without interfering with the judgments passed by the

learned Single Bench to the extent that all the transfer orders

under challenge were set aside and liberty was granted to the

appellants to pass fresh orders, the same is upheld. However, the

portion of the judgment, which requires the appellants to restrict

the movement of employees outside their division, is hereby

quashed and set aside. The appellants shall have complete

discretion to effect transfers in administrative exigency, while

taking into consideration the latest policy in force, which at

present is dated 16.03.2018.

9. The instant appeals stands disposed of accordingly. All

pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.
