Collegium Recommends Transfer of Two Orissa High Court Judges
The Story in Brief
The Story in Brief
The Supreme Court Collegium has recommended transferring two Orissa High Court judges to other high courts, subject to central government approval. The decision was taken on August 6, 2026.
Justice Manash Ranjan Pathak is proposed for the Gujarat High Court, while Justice Krushna Ram Mohapatra has been recommended for the Chhattisgarh High Court. The transfer notifications will follow once the government gives its nod.
The Indian Opinion
Transfers within the higher judiciary are routine, yet each recommendation invites whispers of executive pressure or internal factionalism. The Collegium decided on August 6 and named the judges, that is due process at work. What remains unseen is the Centre’s speed in issuing the formal notifications. A delay beyond a few weeks would legitimately raise questions about unnecessary friction between the two wings of the state.
