The Collegium has also recommended transfer of Justice Munishwar Nath Bhandari from Allahabad High Court to the Madras High Court.
The Supreme Court collegium, comprising top five judges, has recommended transfer of Madras High Court Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee to the Meghalaya High Court. It has also made another recommendation to the Centre to transfer Justice Munishwar Nath Bhandari from Allahabad High Court to the Madras High Court.
Resolutions for both the recommendations were passed by the collegium on September 16 but were made available in the public domain only on Tuesday (November 9). Chief Justice Banerjee, hailing from West Bengal, had assumed office in the Madras High Court on January 4, 2021 and is due to retire from service on November 1, 2023.
A similar recommendation made by the Supreme Court in 2019 to transfer the then Madras High Court Chief Justice Vijaya Kamlesh Tahilramani to the much smaller Meghalaya High Court had created a furore among the legal fraternity. When her plea for reconsideration was rejected, Justice Tahilramani chose to put in her papers.
