Allahabad High Court Judge Faces Transfer Demands

The High Court Bar Association (HCBA) has called for the transfer of Justice Sangeeta Chandra from the Allahabad High Court following her initiation of criminal contempt proceedings against senior advocate Satish Chandra Mishra. The UP Bar Council and the Awadh Bar Council have also backed this demand, citing alleged mistreatment of lawyers and questioning Justice Chandra's conduct during court proceedings. Mishra, who was accused of disrespectful behavior towards the bench during a hearing, has received support from his peers, who describe him as a respected figure in the legal community. The Oudh Bar Association has detailed the incident, emphasizing the need for decorum and mutual respect in court. The situation has escalated to a formal request for Justice Chandra's reassignment, as her actions have reportedly lowered the dignity of the court.
