<h1>IRS Officer's Transfer to Chennai Overturned Due to Guideline Breaches and Alleged Bias by Revenue Department</h1> The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) nullified the transfer of an IRS officer from Mumbai to Chennai, citing violations of transfer guidelines by the revenue department. The officer, previously involved in high-profile cases, including a drug bust linked to a Bollywood actor's family, alleged his transfer was punitive. The CAT found procedural lapses and potential bias in the decision, emphasizing that transfer policies should be fair and transparent. Despite the officer's appeals and claims of receiving threats, his transfer was upheld by authorities until CAT's intervention. The tribunal refrained from imposing costs on the respondents but highlighted the breach of established guidelines.
