The reassignment of Justice Yashwant Varma from the Delhi High Court to the Allahabad High Court has incited protests and revived conversations surrounding judicial transfers
India's Judicial Transfers:
Judicial transfers are defined as the transfer of a High Court judge from one High Court to another with the intention of strengthening judicial operations or public administration.
Constitutional Basis: After consulting with the Chief Justice of India (CJI), the President may move a judge between High Courts in accordance with Article 222(1) of the Constitution.
Important Supreme Court Decisions:
S.P. Gupta v. Union of India, the First Judges Case (1981)
This decision made it clear that the executive has the final say and that the CJI's opinion is not required.
1993's Second Judges Case
This ruling overturned the earlier ruling and gave the judiciary priority under the collegium system. It underlined that transfers ought to benefit the general public and involve more broader consultation.
Case of the Third Judges (1998)
The CJI and four of the most senior judges were added to the collegium in this case, which required the participation of judges who were familiar with the pertinent High Court.
Organizations Taking Part in Judicial Transfers:
Judiciary: The transfer procedure is started by India's Chief Justice.
Among the consultations are:
Executive:
The Judicial Transfer Process:
Beginning: Taking into account administrative and judicial factors, the CJI assesses and recommends a transfer.
Consultation: Relevant judges from the Supreme Court and the High Court must be consulted.
Suggestion: The Law Ministry receives the recommendation after it has been finalized by the Collegium.
Approval: After consulting with the Prime Minister, the President authorizes the transfer.
Notification: The transfer is published in the Indian Gazette by the Department of Justice.44
