  • Professional Development: Judges will gain broader experience by serving in different High Courts, enhancing their professional growth and expertise.

The Collegium’s decision to transfer and repatriate 21 judges reflects a continued effort to enhance judicial performance and maintain balance within India’s higher judiciary. If approved, this reshuffle will be an important step toward improving the overall functioning of the justice delivery system.

This move also underscores the dynamic nature of India’s judicial infrastructure, aimed at ensuring justice remains accessible, efficient, and impartial across all regions.
