Supreme Court declines plea by Minister Ajay Mishra to transfer murder case appeal from Lucknow bench of HC to Allahabad
The Court said that Mishra's counsel can request the High Court to appear via video-conference, since his inability to travel to Lucknow was the original ground for filing the transfer petition.
The Supreme Court last week rejected a plea by Union Minister Ajay Mishra Teni seeking transfer of Uttar Pradesh government's appeal against his acquittal in a murder case, from the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court to the principal Bench of the High Court at Prayagraj [Rajeev Gupta vs State of Uttar Pradesh].
