The Supreme Court, in Transfer Petition (Crl.) No. 172 of 2007, held that under Section 406 Cr.P.C., it is within the court's discretion to transfer cases to ensure a fair trial. The Court found it appropriate to transfer three cases from Karnataka to Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, due to the absence of a counter affidavit from the State of Karnataka. The petition was allowed, and the District Judge of Bidar was directed to transmit the records to Hyderabad for further proceedings.
