After a hiatus, lawyers at the Gujarat High Court have returned to their duties following pivotal discussions with the Chief Justice of India, BR Gavai, and the Supreme Court's collegium. The focus was on the debated transfer of Justice Sandeep Bhatt to the Madhya Pradesh High Court.
The Gujarat High Court Advocates' Association had previously halted work to object to Justice Bhatt's proposed relocation. Their decision was driven by concerns over preserving the integrity and image of the judiciary.
A six-person delegation from the GHCAA presented a strong case to the judiciary's top officials, urging a reconsideration. Justice Bhatt, praised for his dedication and efficiency, has resolved over 19,000 cases in four years, underpinning the push against his transfer.
