The Supreme Court on Friday said it was both “troublesome” and “very disturbing” that the government delayed some judicial appointments and transfers in High Courts while certain “picked and chosen” names were cleared in hours.
Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, heading a three-judge Bench, said the transfers of some High Court judges were stalled for months together by the government.
The judge said that government delay to notify certain transfers sent a message that “somebody is able to delay while somebody cannot”.
