BENGALURU: Karnataka high court judge Justice HP Sandesh on Monday said there is a threat of his transfer, following his remarks during an earlier hearing of a bail petition filed by an accused in the Bengaluru Urban deputy commissioner's office bribery case.
"Your ADGP is apparently so powerful and some person has spoken to one of the judges in the high court. That high court judge came, spoke to me and said I could be transferred, citing the example of a judicial officer who was transferred to some other district. I will not hesitate to name the judge who came and sat with me and cited that example. There is a threat of transfer to this court. I am going to protect the independence of judiciary at the cost of my judgeship," the judge told the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) advocate.
