Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court rejected a transfer petition seeking to move a writ petition from the High Court to itself, noting that the pending case in the High Court would be disposed of on merits. The Court emphasized that the matters were not similar and allowed the petitioner to raise all contentions before the High Court. The decision reinforces the principle of allowing High Courts to adjudicate matters unless there is a compelling reason for transfer.
