Speaking on the transfer of Delhi High Court Judge S Muralidhar, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad countered Congress leaders’ allegations of it being politically motivated. Ravi Shankar stated that these allegations are baseless. He said, “Justice S Muralidhar's transfer was pursuant to recommendation dated 12 February 2020 of SC Collegium headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI). As of process, consent of the judge in question was taken. Two other judges have also been transferred like him by following the process. All the allegations are baseless.”
