Amaravati: The on-going tussle between the Government of Andhra Pradesh headed by Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy with the judiciary took a curious turn when the AP High Court Judge Justice J. Rakesh Kumar Wednesday raised serious questions on transparency in the Supreme Court’s Collegium transfers.
On December 14 the SC’s Collegium headed by Chief Justice of India S.A. Bobde shifted AP High Court Chief Justice Jitendra Kumar Maheswari to Sikkim High Court and Telangana High Court Chief Justice R. Chouhan to Uttarakhand High Court at a time when they were hearing cases pending against Jagan Reddy.
