Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the procedural issues arising from the Special Court (Trial of Offences Relating to Transactions in Securities) Act, 1992, particularly regarding the transfer of cases between judges. The Court held that the request for recusal of a judge must be substantiated with valid grounds and cannot be based solely on the desire to change judges. The Court upheld the Bombay High Court's order directing that the application for transfer be moved before the same judge, emphasizing the importance of judicial continuity and efficiency in handling complex cases under the Special Courts Act.
