1. Pregnancy in family is no reason to avoid transfer.

2. Transfer can be challenged only if it is found that the same is done as a measure of punishment.

3.However check whether the PSU has any Rule in favour of a lady who has a pregnancy in the family. I am sorry there may not be such Rule.

4.If she is indeed harassed then she make a written representation to higher authority on this issue of castism and then challenge the transfer in high court.

5. The harassment is valid reason to challenge the trasnfer. However beofre going to court do ask her to explore all possible means to settle this verbally with her higher authority.

Transfer is a part and parcel of service which has to be accepted. A transfer of this nature can be successfully challenged in the court only on the ground that it was actuated with malice. So she can challenge it in the High Court on this ground which may quash it.

Besides other grounds i.e., injustice and ill-treatment meted out to her and without following the principles of natural justice, sh can add the medical grounds also as a ground to defy the orders of the authorities for this sudden transfer.
