Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the transfer of Sessions Case No.81 of 2016 from Hosur to Salem, emphasizing the need for a fair trial under Article 21 of the Constitution. The Court noted the influence of the accused, Ramachandran son of Thimmaiya, and the delays in the trial process, which raised concerns about the safety of witnesses. The Court held that the transfer was necessary to ensure the appellant's right to a fair trial and to protect her from potential threats, thereby granting the transfer request.
