**Summary:**

The Supreme Court of India has dismissed a plea by government doctors in Karnataka challenging their transfers out of Bengaluru. The court cited the city’s “alluring” cosmopolitan life and suggested that the doctors, as a privileged class, should not oppose transfers. The doctors challenged the Karnataka State Civil Services (Regulation of Transfer of Medical Officers and other Staff) Rules, 2025, arguing that they had insufficient time to object to the draft rules and that the inclusion of “Greater Bengaluru” in the final notification was improper. The Karnataka High Court had previously refused to stay the rules.

**Supreme Court Dismisses Doctors’ Plea Against Bengaluru Transfers, Cites City’s ‘Alluring’ Cosmopolitanism**

*New Delhi, June 26, 2025* – The Supreme Court today rejected a petition filed by government doctors in Karnataka who sought to block their transfers out of Bengaluru. A bench of Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and K Vinod Chandran stated that the doctors would not face prejudice as a result of the transfers, highlighting the city’s attractiveness.

“The cosmopolitan life of Bangalore is very alluring,” the bench observed, further adding that other areas of Karnataka are also developed. “You are a privileged class of society. If you oppose transfer what will happen to others. We are not inclined to entertain the appeal.”

The doctors had challenged the Karnataka State Civil Services (Regulation of Transfer of Medical Officers and other Staff) Rules, 2025, arguing that the process for enacting the rules was flawed. Specifically, they claimed they were given only a week to file objections to the draft rules, and they questioned the inclusion of “Greater Bengaluru” in the final notification.

The Karnataka High Court had previously declined to stay the rules, citing the state’s authority under the Karnataka State Civil Services (Regulation of Transfer of Medical Officers and other Staff) Act of 2011. The Supreme Court’s decision today effectively upholds the state’s right to transfer medical personnel within the health and family welfare department, even if it means relocating them from the coveted posts in Bengaluru.
