The Allahabad High Court Bar Association on Monday expressed resentment over the proposed transfer of four judges to other high courts.
  Â
In a meeting, the members of the High Court Bar Association (HCBA) said the sanctioned strength of high court judges in Allahabad High Court is 160, including its Lucknow bench.
  Â
At present, however, only 93 judges are working both at the high court at Allahabad and its Lucknow bench, the HCBA said in a statement.
  Â
Hence the sanctioned strength has not been filled up yet. So, at a time when there is a huge pendency of cases, four judges of this court have been proposed to be transferred, which will further worsen the situation, it said.
  Â
Those judges who have been proposed to be transferred include Justice Surya Prakash Kesarwani, Justice Prakash Padia, Justice Om Prakash Singh, and Justice Om Prakash.
  Â
The meeting was presided over by HCBA president Ashok Kumar Singh and conducted by its secretary Nitin Sharma.
  Â
The HCBA has sent a letter to the President, Chief Justice of India, Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court, and Union Law Minister to take appropriate action.
