Lawyers oppose proposed transfer of Madras HC CJ to Meghalaya
The Hindu
“The instant transfer would quell any such efforts to strengthen the judiciary in the State... We request that the collegium may reconsider, in public interest, its decision,” the representation, signed by over 200 lawyers, said
Over 200 lawyers have made a common representation to the Supreme Court collegium urging it to reconsider its recommendation to transfer Madras High Court Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee to the High Court of Meghalaya.
In their representation, the lawyers stated that the transfer of the Chief Justice from a chartered High Court, with a sanctioned strength of 75 judges, to a High Court with current strength of just two judges raises disconcerting questions.
The signatories to the representation include N.G.R. Prasad, senior counsel R. Vaigai, V. Prakash, Anna Mathew, Sudha Ramalingam, Rupert J. Barnabas, Geeta Ramaseshan, Bader Sayeed, Henri Tiphagne, V. Suresh and T. Lajapathi Roy.
