The Court was considering an appeal moved by one Divyamol (appellant), a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officer, against the judgment of a single-judge upholding her transfer from Cochin to Narsapur.
Ever since the appellant joined the CISF in 2007 under a compassionate appointment scheme, she had ensured that she would be posted in Cochin, for 13 years and 4 months of her 13 years and 11 month long career, by approaching the Court several times over the years and getting judgments in her favour.
As her husband was posted in Kerala since the beginning, she relied on a guideline for transfer which said that in cases where a husband and wife are both in Central government service, they have to be retained in the same station as far as possible.
