New Delhi: In a major reshuffle, the Supreme Court Collegium has recommended to the Centre the transfer of four Chief Justices (CJs) of high courts including Andhra Pradesh High Court’s Chief Justice JK Maheshwari to the Sikkim High Court. This development came weeks after Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy had complained to the Chief Justice of India (CJI) about the state’s top judiciary. In an unprecedented move, the AP chief minister, October 6, had written to CJI SA Bobde alleging that the state High Court was being used to ‘destabilise and topple’ his democratically elected government.

The Collegium headed by the CJI, in its meeting held December 14, also recommended elevation of five High Court judges as Chief Justices of different High Courts including Justice Dr S Muralidhar whose notification transferring him to Punjab and Haryana High Court close to mid night of February 26 had created a huge controversy.
