# Supreme Court shunts out 2 coal scam judges on Delhi HC request 2026-08-07T23:43:04+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Supreme Court has replaced two special CBI judges hearing coal scam cases in Delhi, acting on an unusual request from the Delhi high court that the judges were 'better suited for certain other responsibilities.' Judges Sunena Sharma and Dheeraj Mor were transferred barely six months and a year after their appointments, respectively. The top court accepted the request and appointed Virender Kumar Kharta and Ajay Garg as replacements. Neither Sharma nor Mor has been given a fresh judicial posting; both have been attached to the office of the principal district and sessions judge (CBI). The high court directed them to pronounce reserved judgments within two to three weeks. Last year, 29 CBI corruption cases were pending before the two special courts, with 27 already disposed. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: CBI courts, coal scam cases, Delhi High Court, judicial transfers, Supreme Court Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/supreme-court-approves-transfer-of-two-delhi-coal-scam-judges/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
