"Naukri Jaaye Par Dilli Nahin"
The record for continuous posting in Government of India, albeit,
of a Central Service lies with yours truly. Came to Government deputation
in 1983 and stayed outside the cadre till 2009 - 26 years. When I was
posted to Bhopal, I quit service.

Ground for seeking transfer
A query was raised in the RTI application seeking information
relating to transfer application of employees. The Public Information
Officer (PIO) denied the information under section 8(1)(j) as
third parties had objected to disclosure. The Central Information
Commission (CIC) observed that in the absence of any larger public
interest, the information is not to be disclosed.
Comments
An order of Transfer or posting is an administrative order and
is liable to be disclosed suo-motu by the public authority. An
employee may seek transfer on personal or official reasons and
as per section 4(1)(d), every public authority shall provide reasons
for its administrative or quasi-judicial decisions to affected
persons. However, the CIC has held that the specific ground for
transfer is personal in nature and is not liable to be disclosed.
