Case Summary: The Supreme Court heard the Special Leave Petition filed by Abdulmiya Husainmiya Kureshi challenging the Gujarat High Court's dismissal of a transfer petition regarding Sessions Case No. 287/2004. The High Court had dismissed the petition as infructuous, claiming the trial was concluded, but the petitioner's counsel argued this was factually incorrect—the trial was still ongoing with prosecution evidence being led and defence evidence pending. The Court found merit in the petitioner's contention and issued notice to respondents returnable within six weeks, meanwhile staying the trials of SC No. 287/04 and SC No. 74/06 pending further hearing.
