Question 17
17. Colin is a strict team leader who earned the disdain and displeasure of his
co-employees. Colin started to receive text messages and calls from
unknown mobile numbers warning him that his days are numbered. Colin
reported the threats to his manager. After investigation, the manager
decided to transfer Colin to another station for security reasons. Colin
repeatedly requested from his manager to disclose the details of the
investigation but was refused. Aggrieved, Colin filed a petition for
issuance of writ of habeas data to stop his involuntary transfer to another
station which allegedly amounts to constructive dismissal. Colin also
claimed that the unjustified refusal of the management to disclose the
basis of his transfer constitutes serious threat to his rights to privacy and
liberty. Will the petition for habeas data prosper to protect Colin’s
right to security of tenure? Explain.
