Summary
Jharkhand state-service officer who, by TOI's count, was transferred 56 times in 36 years; one order came the day after he publicly called the system corrupt. 'I have realized that it is worthless to sell mirrors in a city of blind men,' he told TOI.
56 in a 36-year career (TOI Sunday Times, Oct 2012). An earlier Telegraph headline, as DDC Giridih, said 42 in 30 years (page blocked; headline only). These are milestones, not a disagreement. The count is not attributed to a document and may be his own; flagged.
This count comes from analyses of service records, not from a reported dispute. Few of these moves have a published reason, and a high count is not evidence that the officer was punished.
The moves, and what came of them
Oldest first. Each fold is marked by how well the record holds it.
