The Supreme Court Collegium has decided that judges set to become High Court Chief Justices may be transferred nearly two months before the post falls vacant. The move aims to ensure smooth transition, better administration, and uninterrupted justice delivery across High Courts.
The MP High Court Bar Council President, Dhanya Kumar Jain, apologized to Chief Justice Suresh Kumar Kaith over false allegations of demolishing a Hanuman temple at the Chief Justice’s residence. Jain admitted his claims were based on misinformation from a lawyer’s complaint. Clarifications from the PWD department and High Court administration confirmed that no temple ever existed at the site. Expressing regret for the confusion caused, Jain assured no further action would be pursued on the matter.
