JAMMU: The Supreme Court Collegium headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud has recommended the transfer of Justice Atul Sreedharan, judge of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, to the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
Justice Sreedharan on January 23, 2023, had sought a transfer out of Madhya Pradesh on the ground that his elder daughter would enter practice next year and would be appearing before the District Court and the Indore bench of the high court.
“Justice Atul Sreedharan has stated that he does not desire to continue in the High Court of Madhya Pradesh when his daughter enters practice. “The Collegium has resolved to accept the request of Justice Atul Sreedharan and to recommend that he be transferred, in the interest of better administration of justice, to the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh,” it said. Justice Atul Sreedharan was appointed as a Judge of the High Court of Madhya Pradesh on April 7, 2016.
