The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's dismissal of a railway worker's appeal regarding his transfer to a lower-paid position. The worker argued the transfer lacked justification, while the employer claimed an unrestricted right to reassign staff. The court ruled that the employer's decision requires judicial scrutiny of specific grounds such as organizational needs and employee qualifications, which the lower court failed to evaluate.
