Re: placement
If your terms of service permit the employer to transfer you to any location then it will be difficult for you to challenge the decision.However if the terms of service are silent then you have a case and the transfer can be challenged in a court.
Re: placement
From your query, it is not clear as to whether your employer is a State department or a State agency/undertaking or a private entity. If your employer is a private entity, then it appears that you cannot take any legal steps against such an employer against your transfer, especially if your appointment letter/terms of employment specify your job to be "transferable".
If your employer is a State department or a State agency, it may be possible to file a writ petition before the appropriate High Court for adequate remedy against the transfer. However, this would depend on the complete facts and circumstances of your case, which are at present not available to us. Further, it may be essential for you to show other compelling circumstances to the court in order to avoid the transfer, other than your professional problems, in order to gain the court's sympathy and obtain a suitable order.
