In a major reshuffle, the Centre has notified the transfer of 16 High Court judges across India. The move follows the Supreme Court Collegium’s May 26 recommendation to improve judicial efficiency.
Justice Madhav Jamdar of the Bombay High Court explained the five-month delay in publishing a judgment, attributed to his heavy workload and late working hours. The ruling addressed the Transfer of Property Act, stating that purchasers must adhere to pending decrees. Recent judge transfers aim to improve judicial efficiency and balance workloads.
The Supreme Court Collegium, led by CJI B.R. Gavai, has recommended the transfer or repatriation of 21 High Court judges across India. Significant changes affect courts in Telangana, Delhi, and Bombay. These moves aim to enhance judicial efficiency, reduce backlogs, and ensure balanced distribution of judicial responsibilities among the High Courts.
