PARTIES in a criminal case in a subordinate court have the right to apply to transfer the case to the High Court. In the case of Public Prosecutor v Abdul Azeez bin Abdul Rahim and another case [2020] it was the prosecution who filed applications by way of notice of motion against the accused persons for the transfer of their cases from the Sessions Court to the High Court under section 417(1)(e) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC).
