NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday sought response from J-K separatist leader Yasin Malik and others on a plea by the Central Bureau of Investigation to transfer the trial in two cases from Jammu to New Delhi.
A bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Augustine George Masih issued notice to Malik and other accused and directed them to file response by December 18.
During the proceedings, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the bench that Malik need not be physically taken to Jammu court for trial in the kidnapping case as Tihar jail has a court with video-conferencing facilities.
