DISSENT AS AN IMPERATIVE FOR JUDICIAL DEMOCRACY
The Morning Standard
|February 23, 2026
Dissent remains the judiciary's bulwark, exposing through past and recent judge-transfer cases, alleged executive influence, opaque selections and abrupt reversals that threaten institutional integrity
RECENTLY, Justice Ujjal Bhuyan of the Supreme Court, by necessary implication, criticised the Collegium headed by the then Chief Justice BR Gavai, for its resolution of October 14, 2025. The resolution recommended the transfer of Justice Atul Sreedharan from the Madhya Pradesh High Court to the Allahabad High Court, rather than to the Chhattisgarh High Court as proposed earlier.
It was stated that the change of decision was due to the request from the Union government. Justice Bhuyan rightly lamented that when the Collegium noted in the minutes that the transfer is made at the behest of the Centre, it reflects the Centre's clear intrusion into the internal affairs of the judiciary.
The judge also spoke extensively about the judiciary's credibility crisis.
