The Supreme Court on Tuesday, January 13, examined a petition seeking the transfer of a liquor scam case trial from Uttar Pradesh to Chhattisgarh. A bench headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant expressed significant concerns regarding the potential hardships that co-accused individuals might face if the case is relocated. The petitioner, a retired Chhattisgarh official named Niranjan Das, argued that the allegations in both states are part of a singular conspiracy and should be tried together. However, the bench noted that moving the trial could inconveniece UP residents who are implicated in the FIR registered there.
