Today, the top court once again questioned the Central government for its “pick and choose” approach in the transfers of judges.
“Attorney, it does not create a good impression. You cannot pick and choose transfers like this. What is the signal you send? One pending from Allahabad, another from Delhi, four from Gujarat not transferred at all,” the Court told the Attorney General (AG) R Venkataramani.
The AG in response said there was some delay due to elections and progress has been made in respect of the reiterated names. The Court, however, remarked that not even 50 per cent of the names have been cleared.
“We had considered the inputs. You, by detaining, have affected the seniority,” it added.
