Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ordered the transfer of a corruption trial from Ghaziabad to Delhi due to concerns over the impartiality of the local judiciary, given the involvement of former District Judges and numerous prosecution witnesses from the same court. The case involved charges under Section 120-B, 420, 467, 468, and 471 of the IPC, as well as Section 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act. The Court emphasized the need for a fair trial free from local influences, thereby ensuring justice is served.
