Will knock the door of SC if rights of Himachal Pradesh not given by the Centre: CM
Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu has said that he will meet the Union Ministers to release the aid to Himachal under the Post Disaster Need Assessment (PDNA).
The Centre notified the transfer of three High Court judges on Saturday, three days after the Supreme Court Collegium made the recommendations.
Meanwhile, the Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal announced the development by tweeting the names of the three judges.
Justice Dinesh Kumar Singh has been transferred from the Allahabad High Court to the Kerala High Court. Similarly, Justice Gaurang Kanth, a judge at the Delhi High Court has been transferred to the Calcutta High Court. Justice Manoj Bajaj from the Punjab and Haryana HC stands transferred to the Allahabad High Court.
The SC Collegium transferred the three judges on July 12.
With their transfers, the Collegium also rejected the individual requests with regard to their continuation at their parent High Court, or their transfer to the neighbouring states.
The Collegium found no merit to their requests.
Earlier, Justice Bajaj, who was a judge at the Punjab and Haryana HC, had requested to continue there itself, while Justice Singh wanted a transfer to a state of his choice — from Uttar Pradesh to either Delhi, Punjab, Rajasthan or Madhya Pradesh. Similarly, Justice Kanth sought a transfer to the High Court of Madhya Pradesh or Rajasthan, or to some neighbouring state.
