The Supreme Court granted leave in Criminal Appeal No. 713 of 2018, challenging the High Court's refusal to transfer Sessions Case No. 81 of 2016 from Hosur to Salem. The Court noted the involvement of influential accused Ramachandran son of Thimmaiya, which posed a threat to witness testimonies. The Court emphasized the need for a fair trial and expeditious proceedings under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, and directed the trial court to ensure timely completion of the trial.
