With the motive of standing against the order of Supreme court's collegium on transferring the Chief Justice of Madras High court to Meghalaya High court, the bar council and advocates union in Tamil Nadu and in Pudhucherry have been unleashing the demonstrations in their court premises by boycotting the court with their demand to suspend the order of transferring the Madras High court Chief Justice Tahilramani.
The premises of Madras High court has been accounting for episodes of ruckus as the advocates of Madras High court had assembled and united under one voice of urging the collegium to reconsider the transferring order of Justice Tahilramani. Its has been estimated that more than 60,000 advocates from Tamil Nadu and Pudhucherry had took the grounds to protest after unanimously flagging off their decision to boycott the court proceedings.
Speaking about the on going demonstrations, the president of Federation of Bar Associations of Tamil Nadu and Pudhucherry had said that the collegium holds responsibility to furnish the reason for its recommendation to transfer Justice Tahilramani to relatively smaller high court of Meghalaya and further cited that the advocates union have been suspecting some hidden agenda behind this issue.
The Bar Associations had proclaimed that Tahilramani as a straightforward justice and further they had tabled an appeal to the President of India to reject the recommendation of the Supreme collegium headed by the Chief Justice of India.
While the advocates are yet to resume their duties, the issue has been mounted after Justice Tahilramani had tendered her resignation from one of the powerful posts in judicial institution after the collegium had rejected her reconsideration request on transfer to Meghalaya High court. The scenes of uncertainty surrounded the premises of Madras High court last week after the reports had furnished with the conformity that she had sent her resignation letter to the President of India by copying to Chief Justice of India.
Justice Tahilramani was appointed as Chief Justice of Madras High court on August 2018 and exactly after one year, the collegium had placed its recommendation to the President to issue the order of transfer to Justice Tahilramani to Meghalaya High court, which only have three justices while Madras High court houses more than seventy justices.
