The judges transferred from Karnataka HC are Justices Hemant Chandangoudar, Krishnan Natarajan, Neranahalli Srinivasan Sanjay Gowda and Dixit Krishna Shripad.
Though the collegium including CJI Sanjiv Khanna took the decisions to transfer the judges during the meetings held on April 15 and 19, the Advocates Association of Karnataka HC's Dharwad bench had on April 17 written to the CJI protesting the rumoured transfer of the four judges.
