“There was unanimity among the members of the Bar that the trsnsfer of Mr. Justice Bhuyan from Gauhati High Court to the Bombay High Court instead of serving the case of better administration of justice,would adversely affect the administrationjustice in Gauhati High Court. Learned members of the Bar were of the opinion that justice Bhuyan who is in the Gauhati High Court at present is the 3rd senior most judge and in that capacity also member of the various committees.has been playing a significant rolein improving the admionisration side and such a role evidently Justice Bhuyan cannot play in the Bombay High Court when on transfer,he will be apparently at Senior No.15 of the Seniority List of Judges”.
