The Union government on Thursday (27.04.2023) notified the transfer of two High Court Judges.
They are ;
- Justice Atul Sreedharan, Judge of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, has been transferred to Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court.
- Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma, Judge of the Patna High Court, has been transferred to Punjab and Haryana High Court.
The Supreme Court Collegium had recommended the transfer of three High Courts judges on March 29.
Justice Sreedharan had sought the transfer on the grounds of his daughter entering law practice in Madhya Pradesh, a request that the Supreme Court Collegium accepted in March while Justice Sharma had sought repatriation to the Rajasthan High Court, where he belongs, on the ground of his poor health and unavailability of adequate medical facilities in Patna. He had informally requested that if his repatriation to the Rajasthan High Court is not possible, he sought a transfer to the Punjab and Haryana High Court in view of the nature of the medical facilities available at Chandigarh to facilitate treatment of his condition.
