The reasons behind the proposed transfers have not been made public. However, it’s essential to understand that the collegium’s decisions, in general, aim at the better administration of justice. Transferring judges is a standard administrative procedure and shouldn’t be construed as an indication of any misconduct or bias.

The final say on the transfer rests with the President, who will give assent based on established procedures.
