TRANSFER OF CRIMINAL CASES Legally, criminal cases are filed in those authorized criminal courts when the crime is committed within jurisdictional limits of such court. However, in some circumstances, where to meet the ends of justice or for the security of a party to case or for providing convenience to the parties of the case or providing convenience to the witnesses, transfer of criminal case may be allowed. High Court and Provincial Government has the authority to transfer a criminal case to another court if certain conditions are complied with.
