Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 406 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, it has the authority to transfer cases or appeals between High Courts but not to transfer investigations from one police station to another. The Court dismissed the petition as there was no case pending before any Court, emphasizing that the petitioners should seek appropriate orders from the relevant Court regarding their appearance during the investigation stage. The Court clarified that the petitioners' direct approach for transfer was inappropriate and dismissed the petition accordingly.
