Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal against the High Court's order affirming the Sessions Judge's transfer of a trial under Section 420 IPC. The Court found that the basis for the transfer, which was the accused's apprehension of bias from the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, was no longer valid due to the transfer of the magistrate. Consequently, the Court directed the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate to resume and expedite the trial, setting aside the previous orders.
