The Delhi High Court has directed the West Bengal government to relieve an IAS officer of the State cadre to enable her to join the cadre of her husband who is an IAS officer in Himachal Pradesh. Ms. Rathore of the 2016 batch was allocated to the West Bengal cadre. The West Bengal government said it was willing to accord NOC for cadre change of the husband, if he applies for it. The High Court said the issue raised by West Bengal is “no longer res integra” [points of the law which have not been decided]. It cited several judgments in favour of cadre transfer on grounds of marriage.
