Shah Newaz Khan vs The State Of Nagaland

The Supreme Court examined whether it holds exclusive authority under Section 25 of the Civil Procedure Code to transfer civil suits, appeals, or proceedings between states, or if such power can be exercised by other courts. The judgment discusses the consistency of views among various High Courts and the implications of a larger bench decision of the Gauhati High Court. The court's reasoning centers on the interpretation of statutory provisions and judicial authority, ultimately clarifying the scope of the Supreme Court's transfer powers. The decision affirms the Court's exclusive jurisdiction in this matter.
