Chennai, 15 July (H.S.): The Federation of Bar Association of Tamil Nadu has expressed its gratitude to the Chief Justice of India and the Union Government for transferring Justice K R Shriram from Madras High Court to Rajasthan High Court as Chief Justice. The Federation cited concerns about social justice during his tenure, stating that he overlooked deserving candidates from underprivileged communities while recommending names for appointment as judges.

The Federation alleged that Justice Shriram failed to ensure social justice by not considering candidates from underrepresented communities for elevation as judges. They emphasized the need for fair and adequate representation of all sections of society on the bench. The transfer of Justice K R Shriram was notified by the Union Government, and he was sworn in as Chief Justice of Rajasthan High Court.

The Federation has pledged its support to the incoming Chief Justice of the Madras High Court for their constructive efforts. The transfer has been seen as a significant development, with the Federation appreciating the Chief Justice of India and the Union Government for listening to their concerns and taking action. The move is expected to bring about a positive change in the judiciary, ensuring that the rights of all citizens are protected and represented.
