Supreme Court Collegium works to streamline high court judge transfers

The Supreme Court collegium is actively working to establish a systematic policy for transferring judges among various high courts. This initiative aims to discard random or pick-and-choose methods that currently govern judicial transfers. The five-member bench held informal discussions last week to evolve a well-defined policy framework. The proposed system focuses on objective reasoning to replace unwritten norms and reduce personal biases in the transfer process. Officials state that this new policy will enhance accountability regarding judges' conduct and expertise. The move marks a pivotal evolution in judicial integrity management across the country.
