The constant transfers of judges had left the Madras High Court in a state of flux; such short-lived tenures boded ill for the health of the institution and the justice delivery system, the senior counsel said
About 31 designated senior counsel have sent a joint representation to the Supreme Court collegium to reconsider its recommendation to the Centre and the President, to transfer Madras High Court Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee, to the High Court of Meghalaya.
The representation stated that the Chief Justice had assumed office in the Madras High Court only on January 4, and had completed only 10 months here though he has two more years of service with his date of retirement being November 1, 2023.
“During his term he has discharged his functions both in the administrative and judicial side to the best of his capabilities bringing honour to the office he held. He has been a good administrator and in the judicial side he has disposed a few thousand cases even during the devastating COVID-19 pandemic,” the senior counsel said.
