Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed Transfer Petitions filed under Section 406 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, by Dr. Rajesh Talwar and Dr. Mrs. Nupur Talwar, seeking the transfer of their ongoing murder trial from Ghaziabad to Delhi. The Court noted the procedural history, including the CBI's closure report citing insufficient evidence against the petitioners, and the subsequent rejection of this report by the Special Judicial Magistrate. Ultimately, the Court held that the transfer was warranted to ensure a fair trial, given the circumstances surrounding the case.
