body1986
ORDER Special Leave Petition is dismissed. But we would like to observe that members of the subordinate judiciary should not be frequently transferred without compelling reasons and ordinarily they should not be transferred before the expiration of the period laid down by the High Court for transfer in regard to any particular station and as far as possible no transfer should be effected in mid-term unless compelled by administrative exigencies. Otherwise, it would not only cause personal hardship and inconvenience to the members of the subordinate judiciary but would also have the effect of demoralising them and would be likely to affect performance of judicial work. Court Master. For Citation : 1987 Supp SCC 31.
