Vijaya Kamlesh Tahilramani
Scores of lawyers practising in the principal seat of the Madras High Court in Chennai as well as its Madurai Bench have rallied behind Chief Justice Vijaya Kamlesh Tahilramani, who has tendered her resignation in protest against her transfer from the chartered High Court to the relatively new and smaller High Court of Meghalaya.
While one section of lawyers has decided to stage a demonstration outside the High Court campus on Monday to impress upon the Supreme Court collegium to withdraw its decision to transfer her, many others decided to convene the general body meeting of their associations to discuss the further the course of action to be taken.
The Madras High Court Advocates Association (MHAA) in Chennai as well as the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court Bar Association (MMBA), represented by its secretary N. Ilango, have individually convened extraordinary general body meetings of their respective associations on Monday afternoon to discuss the issue.
“An unprecedented situation has arisen in the country with the Chief Justice putting in her papers in protest against her transfer.
“A majority of our members want to express solidarity with her and impress upon the Supreme Court collegium to reconsider its decision on transfer. However, a final decision will be taken by the general body,” Mr. Ilango said.
