After Centre's Request, Supreme Court Collegium Modifies Proposal To Transfer Justice Atul Sreedharan

The Supreme Court Collegium, in a meeting held on October 14, 2025, has recommended the transfer of Justice Atul Sreedharan, Judge of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, to the Allahabad High Court.

This recommendation was made upon reconsideration sought by the Central Government. The Collegium had earlier proposed Justice Sreedharan's transfer to the High Court of Chhattisgarh. However, after reviewing the Government's request, the Collegium resolved to modify its earlier recommendation and instead transfer him to the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad.

"The Supreme Court Collegium, in its meeting held on 14th October, 2025, on reconsideration sought by the Government, resolved to recommend that Mr. Justice Atul Sreedharan, Judge, High Court of Madhya Pradesh, be transferred to the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad instead of the High Court of Chhattisgarh," stated the Collegium's statement.

Justice Atul Sreedharan was elevated as a judge of the Madhya Pradesh High Court in 2016.

In 2023, Justice Sreedharan was transferred from the Madhya Pradesh High Court to the J&K&L High Court as per his request, since his daughter had commenced practice of law in MP. In March 2025, he was repatriated to MP High Court.
