Bangalore Apr 17: The High Court on Tuesday upheld the transfer of eight IAS officers made by the State government on March 27 based on the directions given by the ECI.

Setting aside the April 12 order of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) that had stayed the transfer order while terming it a violation of the IAS (Cadre) Rules, the High Court said the change in the posting of these officers cannot be treated as a regular transfer as this order was issued for the purpose of drawing officials for election duty on “deputation” for a limited period.

A Division Bench comprising Justice N. Kumar and Justice B. Manohar delivered the verdict.
