Whats the exact procedure for transfer of judges of High Courts. I tried to find on the internet but nothing was conclusive. I think that a collegium of 5 senior most judges of Supreme Court including CJI decides on this and they are also obliged to consult the Chief Justices of the concerned High Courts.
Please let me know the exact procedure if I am wrong somewhere.

Yeah but in 1998 Supreme Court decided in some case that The CJI needs to consult a collegium of 4 seniormost judges of SC for transfer of judges of HC, in addition to the chief justices of the two high courts(one sending and the other receiving one).
