Supreme Court Collegium Recommends Transfer Of Seven High Court Judges

In a progressive stride towards fostering inclusivity and diversity within the judiciary, the Supreme Court Collegium has recommended the transfer of seven judges across various High Courts in the country. What makes this move particularly noteworthy is that five of these judges currently serve in the Karnataka High Court—highlighting the Collegium’s active approach in bringing about balanced representation across the judicial landscape.

 

According to the Collegium’s statement, these transfers aim to “infuse inclusivity and diversity” and to uplift the overall quality of judicial administration. This decision reflects a deeper commitment to ensuring that our courts mirror the rich social and regional fabric of the nation they serve.

 

Here are the recommended transfers:

 

1. Justice Heman Chandanagoudar – from Karnataka High Court to Madras High Court

 

 

2. Justice Krishnan Natarajan – from Karnataka High Court to Kerala High Court

 

 

3. Justice Neranahalli Srinivasan Sanjay Gowda – from Karnataka High Court to Gujarat High Court

 

 

4. Justice Perugu Sree Sudha – from Telangana High Court to Karnataka High Court

 

 

5. Justice Kasoju Surendhar @ K. Surender – from Telangana High Court to Madras High Court

 

 

6. Justice Dr. Kumbhajadala Manmadha Rao – from Andhra Pradesh High Court to Karnataka High Court

 

 

7. Justice Dixit Krishna Sripad – from Karnataka High Court to Orissa High Court

 

 

 

These transfers aren’t merely administrative shifts—they are strategic efforts to cultivate a more balanced and fair judiciary. By redistributing judicial talent and experience, the Collegium seeks to promote efficiency, cultural exchange, and a broader perspective in the dispensation of justice.

 

The recommendations will come into effect once the Ministry of Law and Justice issues the formal notifications. This move underscores the judiciary's ongoing evolution and its unwavering dedication to serving justice that’s both inclusive and equitable.
