Case Summary: SLP(Crl) No. 531/2000 Rizwana Khan challenged the Allahabad High Court's order transferring criminal proceedings (initiated via her complaint against Sohail Sheikh) from Jhansi to Agra. The Supreme Court found the High Court's transfer order unjustified, noting it considered only the accused's convenience while ignoring the significant inconvenience to the female complainant. The Court set aside the impugned order and directed that criminal proceedings proceed at Jhansi instead. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
