After months of having been under the scenes of controversies, the office of the Chief Justice of Madras High court will be occupied by the full time Chief Justice by replacing the exited former Justice Tahilramani, who resigned over expressing her concern on being transferred to relatively smaller high court of Meghalaya. 

The Supreme court collegium headed by the Chief Justice of India had today recommended to the President of India Ram Nath Kovind to appoint current Chief Justice of Patna High court Amreshwar Pratap Sahi as the chief executive to its Madras counterpart and he has been expected to assume office and take charge of the role that has been executed by Justice Vineet Kothari as Acting Chief Justice. After taking charge of Chief Justice of Madras High court, Amreshwar Pratap Sahi will demit his office on December 31th 2020 which pictures that he will be holding the office for the next one year. 

The Madras High court had hosted the grounds of controversies along with the queue of pending cases after the Supreme court collegium had issued directives to transfer the then Chief Justice Tahilramani to Meghalaya High court by citing the better judicial administration. After having been transferred to Meghalaya High court, which is smaller in the volume and numbers of judges while compared to Madras High court, she had written to the collegium to reconsider its decision on the recommendations. But however, the collegium had eventually rejected her request and advised her to assume the office of Chief Justice of Meghalaya High court. 

Amidst the transfer, Tahilramani had tendered her resignation from one of the top judicial posts on September 6th where she had sent her resignation to the President by copying to the Chief Justice of India and about two weeks later, her resignation was accepted by the President after which Justice Vineet Kothari has been named as the Acting Cheif Justice of Madras High court until replaced with Chief Justice.

Justice Amreshwar Pratap Sahi has been holding the office of Chief Justice of Patna High court since November 17th 2018 before which he was in Allahabad high court as one of its judges from 24th September 2004 to 16th November 2018.
