The Top Five Judges Supreme Court Collegium led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud has recommended the transfer of Mr. Justice Rajnish Bhatnagar, Judge, High Court of Delhi, to the Rajasthan High Court, for better administration of justice.
It is stated in the recommendation that "In terms of the Memorandum of Procedure, we have consulted Judges of the Supreme Court who being conversant with the affairs of the High Court of Delhi are in a position to offer views on the proposed transfer. We have also consulted the Chief Justices of the High Court of Delhi and the Rajasthan High Court.
Mr. Justice Rajnish Bhatnagar by a representation dated 16 August 2023 has requested for his retention in Delhi.
We have considered the request made by Mr. Justice Rajnish Bhatnagar in his representation. The Collegium does not find any merit in the request made by him. The Collegium, therefore, resolves to reiterate its recommendation dated 10 August 2023 to transfer Mr. Justice Rajnish
Bhatnagar to the Rajasthan High Court."
Justice Bhatnagar Joined Delhi Higher Judicial Services on 26.05.2000 and later he was elevated and appointed as permanent Judge of Delhi High Court on 27.05.2019.
With this transfer, the strength of judges in Rajasthan High Court would reach to 38 against the sanctioned strength of 50.
