To ensure a free and fair trial, the Supreme Court has transferred a trial relating to mayhem of Dalits allegedly by upper caste Hindus in Haryana’s Hisar district in April to a special court in Rohini in Delhi. A Bench of Justices G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly ordered the transfer on Wednesday “to ensure that the trial is free from any fear or pressure from any quarter”. The court asked the Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ), Hisar — who is currently handling the case — to transfer all relevant records to the Additional Sessions Judge, Rohini, dealing with offences under SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities Act), 1989.
