INTERSTATE TRANSFER OF CRIMINAL CASE?

Only the Supreme Court has powers to effect interstate transfer of Criminal Case.

The Supreme Court, if finds it necessary, and for practical reasons, transfer a Criminal Case or Appeal from one High Court to another High Court or from one Subordinate Court of a High Court to the other Subordinate Court of the other High Court. The Subordinate Court is equal or Superior to that of the other side of the High Court.

The Apex Court must act only on Application filed by the interested party including that of Attorney General of India and will take up the matter by motion, however, the Attorney General of India and Advocate General of the State can file an Affidavit together with the Application.   

Provided the Supreme Court dismissed the Application for the reasons that it was frivolous and vexatious then it might order the Applicant to pay the costs to the other side not exceeding Rs. 1000/- if such thing is appropriate and necessary.
