Supreme Court Justice Ujjal Bhuyan emphasised that judicial transfers are solely for the better administration of justice and fall entirely within the judiciary’s domain. He warned that any government involvement in judge transfers undermines judicial independence and constitutional morality.
The Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh has urged the Supreme Court to transfer Justice Sangeeta Chandra from the Allahabad High Court amid rising tensions following her contempt order against Senior Advocate SC Mishra. The council seeks her transfer and requested she refrain from judicial duties until resolved, reflecting discontent within the legal community.
