Issues involved:
The issues involved in this case are the challenge of transfer order, reinstatement on a lower grade post, and non-consideration of the appeal regarding the reinstatement on the higher grade post. Challenge of Transfer Order: The appellant challenged her transfer order from Trichy to Kovilpatti, which was initially granted interim injunction but later dismissed by the District Munsif for lack of jurisdiction in the matter. Subsequently, the appellant was discharged from service for alleged abandonment, leading to a series of legal actions including writ petitions and appeals. Reinstatement on Lower Grade Post: After being reinstated, the appellant claimed that she was reinstated on a lower grade II post instead of her original grade I post. Despite making representations, she was not restored to her original position. The appellant filed a writ petition challenging her reinstatement on the lower grade post, which was dismissed by the single Judge and later by the Division Bench. Non-Consideration of Appeal for Higher Grade Post: The Division Bench did not address the appellant's appeal regarding her reinstatement on the higher grade I post, leading to a lack of clarity on the decision. The appellant was advised to file a review petition to rectify the error and seek a proper consideration of her appeal. In conclusion, the Supreme Court upheld the decision regarding the challenge of the transfer order but highlighted the need for the appellant to pursue a review petition for the non-consideration of her appeal for reinstatement on the higher grade post. The appellant was granted the liberty to approach the Division Bench for a review, emphasizing the importance of addressing all aspects of the case for a fair resolution.
