A.Transfer is not possible as the training given to you in one department will be different from another.Above everything, the government department which has asked you to sign the bond is in a dominant position over you. So, you may say that the singature was obtained by undue influence

A.Dear Sir,
Naturally such bonds recently being taken by the Government Departments but it seems there is no supporting circulars issued by the State Government. Just sign the same and continue the same and whenever issue arise they have to approach Civil Court and you can defend in many ways. Central Government recognizes transfer of bonds from one organisation to other organisation when the employee changes employment, this principle can be applied to your case.
