Kerala High Court dismisses transfer petition by accused in Shuhaib murder case

The Kerala High Court rejected a petition seeking to move the Shuhaib murder trial to another jurisdiction. The bench clarified that the criterion for transfer is not whether the challenged orders are correct, but whether there is a genuine and justified fear of an unfair trial. Consequently, the case will continue in the current court.
