Raipur, July 7
Justice P Sam Koshy of Chhattisgarh High Court has been transferred to Telangana High Court.
The Collegium of Supreme Court of India headed by Chief Justice Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud said it was recommending transfer of Mr Justice Koshy to the High Court of Telangana bearing in mind that this would enrich the composition of that High Court.
Justice Koshy has recently passed an order on the bail application of a power bureaucrat booked in connection with a scam.
In the order, the Collegium mentioned that Justice Koshy has sought his transfer out of the state of Chhattisgarh. Acceding to his request, on July 5, 2023, the Collegium proposed his transfer to the High Court of Madhya Pradesh. Justice Koshy requested for a transfer to any other High Court other than Madhya Pradesh.
Following his plea, the Collegium has recommended transfer of Justice Koshy to Telangana High Court.
Justice Koshy was appointed as Additional Judge of the High Court of Chhattisgarh on September 16, 2013.
