Mrs. Urvashi Govind Advani vs State Of Karnataka & Anr

The Supreme Court ordered the transfer of CC No. 11090/2003 from the IXth Addl. Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Bangalore to the Principal District and Sessions Judge at Bombay, citing the petitioner's age (80 years) and health condition (suffering from Cancer) as justifications for the transfer. The Court emphasized the need for the petitioner to effectively defend herself, considering the difficulties posed by her circumstances. The decision was made without commenting on the merits of the case to ensure a fair trial.
