Transfer: Rohini challenges CAT order in HC

April 21, 2018

Bengaluru, Apr 21: IAS officer Rohini Sindhuri on Friday filed a petition in the Karnataka High Court challenging the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) order upholding her transfer order.

The petitioner has contended that the CAT has ignored the Supreme Court’s judgement in the Prakash Singh and Others Vs Union of India (2006), where it said the transfers of IAS officers should be done as per the recommendations of the board of civil services. The Supreme Court’s judgement is binding on all courts and tribunals, the petitioner contended.

The CAT had dismissed Rohini’s petition that questioned her transfer from the post of deputy commissioner of Hassan district within a short period of seven months alleging malafide reasons. The petitioner stated that the transfer order violated IAS regulations which mandate a minimum two-year stint for cadre posts.

Rohini has been posted as the commissioner, Department of Employment and Training, Bengaluru, on March 7.

December 15,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Air India Express has announced that it will resume direct flight services between Mangaluru and Muscat from March 2026, restoring an important international air link for passengers from the coastal region.

Airport authorities said the service will operate twice a week—on Sundays and Tuesdays—from March 1. The initial flights are scheduled on March 3, 8 and 10, followed by March 15 and 17, with the same operating pattern to continue thereafter. The flight duration is approximately three hours and 25 minutes.

The Mangaluru–Muscat route was earlier operated under the 2025 summer schedule, with services beginning on July 14. At that time, Air India Express had operated four flights a week before suspending the service.

Officials said the summer schedule will come into effect from March 29, after which changes in flight timings and departure schedules from Mangaluru are expected. Passengers have been advised to check the latest schedules while planning their travel.

The resumption of direct flights to Muscat is expected to significantly benefit expatriates, business travellers and others, further strengthening Mangaluru’s air connectivity with the Gulf region.
