The Supreme Court Collegium comprising CJI D.Y. Chandrachud, Justice S.K. Kaul, Justice Sanjiv Khanna, Justice B.R. Gavai, and Justice Surya Kant has recommended the transfer of Justice P Sam Koshy, Judge, Chhattisgarh High Court to the Telangana High Court.

The collegium resolution dated July 6, 2023, reads, “Mr Justice P Sam Koshy has sought his transfer out of the State of Chhattisgarh. Acceding to his request, on 05 July 2023 the Collegium proposed his transfer to the High Court of Madhya Pradesh.”

However, Justice Koshy requested a transfer to any High Court other than the High Court of Madhya Pradesh. He volunteered for a transfer out of Chhattisgarh.

On reconsideration of the recommendation made by the Collegium on July 5, 2023, the Collegium resolved to recommend that he be transferred to the High Court for the State of Telangana, instead of the High Court of Madhya Pradesh.

“The Collegium is 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”, says the resolution.
