MGNREG Act | Collector Can Transfer Gram Rozgar Sevaks For ‘Administrative Exigencies’: Orissa High Court

Case: Gagan Bihari Patra & Ors. v. State of Odisha & Ors.

Coram: Chief Justice Dr. S. Muralidhar and Justice Chittaranjan Dash

Case No.: W.A. No. 401 of 2017

Court Observation: “In view of the above statutory framework and set up Operational Guidelines and instructions, the Court is satisfied that the Collector was authorised to issue orders of transfer of GRSs and it was not in violation of any of the provisions of the OGP Act (Orissa Gram Panchayat Act). There is a basic misconception in construing the engagement of the GRSs as being covered by the OGP Act whereas it is covered under Section 18 of the MGNREG Act read with the Operational Guidelines issued thereunder.”
