To add to my previous reply in continuation: If the employee succeeds in the dispute that his transfer was illegal or a measure of victimisation, the impugned transfer order would be set aside and he can join again in the previous post/station. But his claim for salary for his absence in disobeying the nullified transfer orders has to stand judicial scrutiny only in the back drop of the actual purpose and the circumstances leading to his transfer and the distance of the destination to which he was transferred.
