casestatus.in Summary
Under Section 406 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Supreme Court is empowered to transfer criminal cases from one state's court to another when sufficient grounds are made out, including where a respondent's deliberate refusal to accept notice constitutes valid service. As analyzed on casestatus.in, such transfer jurisdiction ensures fair trial and prevents procedural prejudice to a party litigating in a court of inconvenient territorial jurisdiction.
