Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ordered the transfer of a criminal case from Arunachal Pradesh to North Lakhimpur, Assam, citing concerns about the appellant's right to a fair trial due to the limited number of Sessions Judges in Arunachal Pradesh. The Court emphasized that the transfer was in the interest of justice and did not imply any misconduct by the Additional Sessions Judge involved. The order was made under the inherent powers of the Court to ensure a fair trial as per Article 21 of the Constitution.
