Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Transfer Petition No. 644 of 2012, stating that there was no special reason to transfer the suit from the Calcutta High Court to Delhi, despite the petitioner's claims of health issues and threats to life. The Court clarified that the jurisdiction under Article 142 of the Constitution of India is not applicable in such cases, and the petitioner must pursue remedies regarding the maintainability of the suit. The Writ Petition (Criminal) No. 82 of 2016, seeking a writ of mandamus for investigation into crimes against the petitioner, was also considered but not granted as the Court found no grounds for intervention.
