Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's dismissal of a transfer petition concerning Sessions Case No.1006 of 2009, which involved offences under Sections 323 and 354 IPC and the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities Act), 1989. The Court held that the High Court's directive to the trial Court to remain uninfluenced by prior observations was a sufficient safeguard against potential bias, thus upholding the High Court's decision. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the trial Court's jurisdiction to proceed with the case as directed by the High Court.
