The Supreme Court Collegium, a body responsible for recommending appointments and transfers of judges, has recommended the transfer of Tripura High Court Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh to the Telangana High Court. This recommendation is part of a larger reshuffle that includes the transfer of chief justices from the high courts of Rajasthan, Jharkhand, and Madras.
Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh has been serving as the Chief Justice of the Tripura High Court since his appointment in 2020. His transfer to the Telangana High Court is seen as a significant move in the judicial system, as it aims to bring in fresh perspectives and expertise to different high courts across the country.
The decision to transfer Justice Singh comes after careful consideration by the Supreme Court Collegium, which is made up of the Chief Justice of India and four senior-most judges of the Supreme Court. The Collegium evaluates various factors such as the performance of judges, availability of vacancies, and the need for diversity in different high courts before making such recommendations.
The reshuffle of chief justices is expected to bring in new leadership and ideas to the high courts of Rajasthan, Tripura, Jharkhand, and Madras. It is also aimed at ensuring a fair and efficient judicial system across the country.
The recommendation for Justice Singh’s transfer will now be forwarded to the government for approval. Once approved, he will take over his new role as Chief Justice of the Telangana High Court, where he is expected to bring his experience and expertise to the judicial system in the state.
