Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, in the Transfer Petition (Criminal) No. 230 of 2006, held that under Section 406 Cr.P.C., it is appropriate to transfer the case 'Rohit Jain vs. B.R. Gupta & another' from the Judicial Magistrate in Bhatinda, Punjab to the Metropolitan Magistrate in New Delhi for the sake of convenience and to ensure that related matters are heard together. The Court emphasized the need for judicial efficiency in handling cases arising from the same set of facts, thereby allowing the transfer petition.
