SC Collegium Refuses Transfer Requests Of 3 HC Judges From Their Proposed Transfers
The Supreme Court of India.
Three High Court judges expressed reservations about their proposed transfers, but the Supreme Court Collegium on July 12 (Wednesday) found no merit in their concerns and refused to change its decisions.
Despite the objections raised by the judges being transferred, the Collegium, led by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud, remained steadfast in its recommendations to transfer them.
The Collegium expressed its belief that these transfers would contribute to the better administration of justice.
Amongst the judges slated to be transferred, Justice Gaurang Kanth of the Delhi High Court had appealed to the Collegium to reconsider its decision to move him to the Calcutta High Court. Instead, he requested a transfer to Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, or any other neighboring States.
Similarly, Justice Dinesh Kumar Singh of the Allahabad High Court had requested a transfer to nearby States such as Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, or Rajasthan. However, the Collegium had recommended his transfer to the Kerala High Court.
Even Justice Manoj Bajaj of the Punjab and Haryana High Court expressed his desire to remain in his current position instead of being transferred to Allahabad.
The Collegium, in response to all three cases, stood firm with its original decision and stated that it had thoroughly considered the matter and found no valid reasons to grant the requests.
