HC refused to accommodate a woman officer who sought retention or transfer to nearby district to assist her son for his exam

- Utkarsh Anand

“As a high court, you cannot be egoistic. You have to be alive to the problems of your judicial officers,” a bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Bhushan R Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran told senior advocate Ajit Kumar Sinha, who appeared for the high court.
