CRIMINAL TRANSFER PETITION

TRANSFER OF CASE UNDER SECTION 406 OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE CODE


The Supreme Court has the power to transfer a criminal case from one high court to another high Court or from a criminal court to another criminal court to meet the end of justice.  The Supreme Court will transfer the case only when it feels that there is 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 getting or is not likely to get a proper, fair, and impartial trial, the Supreme Court will not hesitate to transfer the case.
