Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a petition seeking consolidation and transfer of multiple FIRs registered against the petitioner across various states. The court noted that the original prayer for transfer was not maintainable, but considered the alternative prayer for consolidation within each state, given the circumstances and lack of objection from the states involved. The case highlights procedural aspects related to the transfer and consolidation of FIRs across jurisdictions. The court's decision emphasizes judicial discretion in managing multi-jurisdictional criminal cases.
