According to the policy, district and sessions judges will not be transferred for 1 to 1.5 years. Additional district sessions judges, senior civil judges and jivil judges will not be transferred for 2 to 2.5 years. Transfer policy will be in place from September 1, and will be strictly implemented upon.
