Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed petitions under Section 406 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for transferring two criminal cases related to corruption against the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and others. The Court noted the ongoing trial under Sections 120-B IPC and 13(2) read with 13(1)(e) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, highlighting issues of witness recall and changes in prosecution due to political shifts. The Court ultimately decided to transfer the cases to ensure a fair trial, emphasizing the need for impartiality in proceedings.
