High Court observation in former West Bengal secretary's case is politically colored

The central government showed an exceptional attitude by appearing in the Supreme Court

Object to the Central Government's observation of the Kolkata High Court

New Delhi: The Union government has taken an exceptional approach to the Supreme Court's decision in a case filed by former West Bengal secretary Alpan Bandopadhyay in a case filed by former West Bengal secretary, saying such a ruling seems politically motivated.

The government told a bench of Justices A M Khanwilkar and CT Ravikumar that the officer was a service matter and the court should avoid such inspections. The Central Administrative Council (CAT) had ordered Badopadhyay's transfer from Kolkata to New Delhi, and Bandopadhyay challenged it in the High Court, which ruled in his favor on October 29.

The apex court has reserved its order on the Centre's application challenging the Kolkata High Court's order. The Center has objected to the observation of the Kolkata High Court. He said the Kolkata High Court had termed the entire modus operandi adopted by the Indian government as malicious and unfortunate.

Following the Government of India's order, a vague order has been issued by Kate's main bench, leading the Supreme Court and the High Courts to intervene and it cannot be said that it has favored the petitioner.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who was present from the Center, said such observations smelled of political bias. The court should avoid such matters. The High Court has said that special precision should be exercised before making any kind of observation.

Individual ideas or political ideologies have no place in the realm of legal jurisdiction. This is just a matter of transfer of a service officer and the bench decides on it. Where does the High Court really come from? The High Court also questioned the federal structure. What does the transfer of an officer have to do with the federal structure.
