Centre Notifies Transfer Of Justice VM Velumani From Madras HC To Calcutta HC

The Union Ministry of Law and Justice recently notified the transfer of Justice VM Velumani from the Madras High Court to the Calcutta High Court.

“In exercise of the power conferred by clause (1) of Article 222 of the Constitution, after consultation with the Chief Justice of India is pleased to transfer Justice VM Velumani, judge of the Madras High Court, as a judge of the Calcutta High Court,” the notification issued by the Ministry stated.

The Supreme Court Collegium first recommended that Justice Velumani be transferred to the Calcutta High Court on September 29 of this year.

However, Justice Velumani had requested the Collegium to reconsider the proposed transfer. She had asked to be moved to a High Court in one of the states of North East India instead, so that she could continue to live in Chennai.

Her request was denied, and the Collegium reiterated its recommendation to transfer her to Calcutta on March 30.
