JUSTICE ATUL SREEDHARAN

The Supreme Court Collegium's decision regarding the transfer of Justice Atul Sreedharan has become a trending topic following the Collegium's public acknowledgement that its initial recommendation was changed after the Union government sought reconsideration. Initially, a proposal was made to transfer Justice Sreedharan from the Madhya Pradesh High Court to the Chhattisgarh High Court. However, after the government presented its concerns or requested a review, the Collegium recalled this proposal. Subsequently, a fresh recommendation was made by the Collegium to transfer Justice Sreedharan to the Allahabad High Court. This development highlights a dynamic interplay between the judiciary and the executive in the appointment and transfer of judges, particularly when the government intervenes in the Collegium's recommendations.
