The Centre on Wednesday notified the appointment of 17 judges across eight High Courts and the transfer of 16 judges across several High Courts, including the acting Chief Justice of Manipur.
The move came days after the Supreme Court had expressed its displeasure over delay in appointment and transfer of High Court judges.
The latest round of transfers included Justice M.V. Muralidharan, the acting Chief Justice of the Manipur High Court, to the Calcutta High Court. Recently, the Supreme Court Collegium had recommended the transfer of Justice Muralidharan to the Calcutta High Court for “better administration of justice”.
