The Supreme Court collegium has moved Justice Agrawal to the Rajasthan High Court, a decision taken separately amid an ongoing row.
The Supreme Court's collegium, the body that handles appointments and transfers of judges, has decided to transfer Justice Agrawal to the Rajasthan High Court. The move was taken as a distinct action, separate from other routine transfers, and comes against the backdrop of a dispute that has been reported in legal circles.
While the collegium did not disclose detailed reasons, the timing suggests the transfer is linked to the ongoing row involving the judge. Such transfers are usually aimed at maintaining the smooth functioning of the judiciary and addressing any concerns that arise.
The decision underscores the collegium's authority to reassign judges across states, reflecting the institutional mechanisms that govern India's higher judiciary. No further comment was provided by the Supreme Court or the concerned parties at the time of reporting.
