Staff Nurse Transfer Policy

Hi,
One of my friend is a staff nurse working under Andhra Pradesh government (Dept of Health). She is on maternity leave and has been transferred to another location. Is there any Government Order (GO) or policy which prohibits transfer of such kind of employees who are on maternity leave? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Kanakadurgarao

Kanaka,
As per Maternity Benefit Act,
"her service conditions can not be altered to her disadvantage during this period"
She can contest against her transfer quoting the MB act.

Hi Pon,
Could you please let me know how to contest and where to? Please let me know how we should approach this. The process, whom to contact, what are the documents needed, where should we appeal etc. She is under Dept of Health, Government of AP.
Thanks in advance,
Kanna

Kanna,
I am not aware of the systems in Govt depts. Better ask the senior officials in the dept itself.
