A move to transfer

A proposal was submitted for my transfer from SP Kamrup Guwahati to Silchar as SP by the then DGP sometime in 1978. My name was put in the middle of the chain of transfer of about 15 officers.It was taken to the then Chief Minister by the then Chief Secretary,Additional Chief Secretary,Home Secretory,the DGP and the then Secretary to CM. The CM saw it and said that proposal was approved except in respect Shrivastava. The DGP was unhappy as my transfer was not agreed to... In the evening i was surprised to receive the Chief Secretary and the Secretary to the Chief Minister at my bungalow . They told me entire episode of transfer and said that  the CM was happy with my work and that we should celebrate it. They wanted drinks.  Among the two of them, half a bottle black label scotch whisky was finished...... I thought over the matter but could not find an ostensible reason for the move to transfer me.
