This will ensure fair trial in criminal, sessions cases, says HC
To ensure a fair trial in criminal cases and sessions cases where police officers or uniformed services personnel are arraigned as accused, the trial must be transferred to a nearby district, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has ruled.
The court directed that such cases be reviewed, and necessary application be filed before the High Court to transfer the trial to the nearby district sessions courts. Justice RMT. Teekaa Raman directed the Home Secretary to issue the necessary instructions in this regard. The judge observed that this should be done to enable private prosecution witnesses and independent witnesses to depose without any fear or influence of the local persons.
