Among these are Justice Nirmaljit Kaur, who has been transferred back to the Punjab & Haryana High Court after serving as a judge of the Rajasthan High Court since 2012. Justice Pavankumar B Bajanthri, who had been transferred to the Punjab and Haryana High Court in March 2015, has been transferred to his parent High Court of Karnataka.

Justice Satrughana Pujahari, who was appointed a judge of the Madras High Court in November 2017, has been recommended to be repatriated to the Orissa High Court. Justice Sujit Narayan Prasad, who has been serving in the Orissa High Court since March 2015, has been recommended for transfer to his parent High Court of Jharkhand.

In addition to the above, Justice Raghvendra S Chauhan of the Karnataka High Court has been transferred to the High Court of Judicature for Telangana and Andhra Pradesh at Hyderabad. Justice Chauhan was originally a judge of the Rajasthan High Court.
