Administrative transfers are valid under service rules when justified by allegations of misconduct, notwithstanding medical recommendations for alternative employment due to physical disabilities.

Regularization of unauthorized absence as Extraordinary Leave without salary precludes the continuation of disciplinary proceedings and consideration of the petitioner's long and clean service record....

Judicial review of administrative transfers is limited; courts uphold orders unless clear legal violations are evident.
