Inter Railway Request Transfer approved before policy change cannot be denied; CAT directs Railways to restore pre policy approved transfer
The Railway Board’s 2015 policy required five years of service for inter-railway transfers but applied only to fresh cases of post-issuance. Despite meeting this condition, the applicant was not relieved. Later, a 2022 policy raised the service requirement to ten years, leading SECR to cancel all pending transfers below that threshold, including the applicant’s.
