Karnataka Bar Council Urges SC Collegium To Reconsider Transfer of Four Karnataka HC Judges

The Karnataka State Bar Council (KSBC) has urged the Supreme Court Collegium to reconsider its decision to transfer four Karnataka High Court judges.

In a letter to the Chief Justice of India, the KSBC highlighted concerns about judicial independence and institutional stability, warning that abrupt transfers may undermine public trust and hinder the judiciary’s efficiency.

The Advocates' Association, Bengaluru (AAB), abstained from work on April 23 to protest the transfer recommendation.

The decision was taken "to infuse inclusivity and diversity at the level of High Courts and to strengthen the quality of administration of justice."
