Dear Sir Shree, Thank you so much for your responds. Yes, section 25 CPC says so, but please forgive my ignorance if I am wroung, but I dont find in section 25 the power of the Supreme Court to transfer the case to its file except to transfer to other high Court or State etc. Or does the words in Sub Clause 1 of section 25 CPC implies the power of the Supreme Court to transfer any case from any court to its jurisdiction. Please correct me If I am wroung.
