you prefer a complaint with labour officer of your area and also lodge a complaint with local women police station as harassment with the help of a competent lawyer

How can you mention this as 'harassment' if you decide to lodge a formal complaint?

Dear Manjeet Kaur,
Administration of any company reserves right to transfer an employee from one department to another. Many companies also insert clause to this effect in the appointment letter. Therefore, it would be unfair to raise objection on the inter-departmental transfer.
In what department you had been working and now you had been transferred to which department? Why do you say that it is "dead" department? How any company can have certain department to dump unwanted persons there? Are you working in the government organisation?
You may put up application for reinstatement to your previous department. You may write that over a period of time by working in that department you have acquired certain skill set or competence and your placement to another department could lead to under-utilisation of your capacities. This is organisational loss.
For Kumar: - We do not know the facts of the case completely. Therefore, interpreting the inter-departmental transfer as harassment would be overstatement. Going further you have recommended to file police case also. But then who has done crime and under what section? We the seniors have to exercise discretion while recommending something as we do not know the internal dynamics of the company. The information given is too inadequate.
For further queries, feel free to contact me.

This is not at all a case of harassment. It will be better if you change your way of thinking and start enjoying your new job. Even if you feel that it is a dead department, please make it lively . You must co operate with your management.

Dear All,
Its just a view no one has right including any company's Management to decide and change career path of an individual. if they do so no kind of cooperation should be expected.
Any individual has their own career plans and has right to follow it. They plan their academics and choose job accordingly and if there are changes they have right to take decision that will again put them on career path that they had decided for them.
As a professional company they should discuss with their employee if they are planning to change his or her profile. If they are not ok with it they can putforth their point and if even after healthy discussion both the parties are unable to reach and mutually benefiting decision they can decide to part ways.
Thanks and Regards

Dear Manjeet Kaur,
According to me, it would be unfair to raise an objection to the transfer
from an existing department to the new one because every company’s
administration reserves the right to transfer any employee from one
department to another. I understand that each one of us has some career
plans and wish to achieve them. Instead of complaining and considering
this as harassment, it would be better if you will put an application for
returning to your previous department or have a mutual discussion with
your companies Administration.
