casestatus.in Summary
When interconnected matters raising questions of public importance — including life, safety, and compliance with development control regulations — are already sub judice before the Supreme Court, a PIL pending in the High Court on substantially the same issues may be transferred under Article 139A to be heard conjointly, ensuring final and consistent adjudication. As analysed on casestatus.in, such transfer is warranted where the High Court PIL arises consequentially from orders that are themselves under challenge before the Apex Court, making the issues inseparable.
