The Chief Justice of Rajasthan High Court Justice Pradeep Nandrajog has been transferred to Bombay High Court as its Chief Justice.

President of India has directed him to assume charge of office of the Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court now occupied by Justice Naresh Harishchandra Patil, after the latter retires on 6th April.

It was only a couple of days before, the Supreme Court Collegium recommended the transfer of Justice Pradeep Nandrajog.

Justice Pradeep Nandrajog was enrolled as an Advocate with the Bar Council of Delhi in the year 1981. He was elevated as an Additional Judge of the Delhi High Court on 20th December 2002 and became a Permanent Judge on 16th April 2004. He was appointed as Chief Justice of Rajasthan High Court on 2.4.2017.

It was reported that the Supreme Court collegium that met in December 2018 had taken a decision to elevate Justice Nandrajog to the Supreme Court. But, later the collegium decided to have a fresh look in the matter and instead recommended Justice Dinesh Maheshwari and Justice Sanjiv Khanna to Supreme Court. This change of decision had generated huge controversy.
