Power to order cases to be tried in different sessions divisions
AI Assist
Summary
State Government may direct that any case or class of cases committed for trial in any district be tried in any sessions division. This power applies even despite earlier provisions of the Chapter. Any direction given must not conflict with earlier orders of the High Court or the Supreme Court, or with this Code or any other law in force.
Example
Ravi’s shop theft case is committed for trial in his district, but the State Government directs it be tried in a neighbouring sessions division to ease backlog. The trial will proceed in that sessions division unless that transfer would contradict any earlier direction from the High Court or the Supreme Court.
Bare Act

Provided that such direction is not repugnant to any direction previously issued by the High Court or the Supreme Court under the Constitution, or under this Code or any other law for the time being in force.
