The Telangana High Court has stayed the Centre’s order transferring senior IPS officer Abhilasha Bisht (IPS:1994) to Andhra Pradesh cadre, allowing her to remain in Telangana until the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) rules on her challenge. The court found prima facie merit in her claim that her 2014 cadre allotment was based on faulty seniority fixation. It noted that the state failed to justify her demotion in the seniority list, despite her earlier precedence among officers transferred on personal grounds. The MHA had issued a fresh transfer order in January 2025, which the CAT declined to stay, though it promised a speedy verdict. The High Court ruled that Bisht should not suffer during this interim period and directed all parties to maintain status quo.
