The Supreme Court overturned the High Council of Judiciary's refusal to transfer a judge to retirement, ordering a new decision. The Council had denied the request citing the judge's illness but failed to consider the public interest regarding the court's staffing shortage. The court ruled that the Council must now evaluate the specific impact of the judge's absence on judicial administration needs before deciding.
