The Supreme Court has the power to transfer a criminal case from one High Court to another, or from a criminal court to another criminal court, to meet the ends of justice. The Supreme Court will transfer the case only when it finds merit in such a petition.
If it appears to the Hon’ble Supreme Court that the subordinate court is not acting judicially, or if there is any apprehension that the accused is not receiving, or is unlikely to receive, a proper, fair, and impartial trial, the Supreme Court will not hesitate to transfer the case to ensure justice is served.
