Which Article empowers the Supreme Court to transfer cases from one High Court to another and on what grounds?
Article 139A; for ensuring justice and expeditious trial
Article 139A (inserted by the 42nd Amendment, 1976) gives the Supreme Court power to transfer cases. Under clause (2), it may transfer any case, appeal or other proceeding pending before one High Court to another High Court if it considers this expedient for the ends of justice. Under clause (1), it can withdraw to itself cases involving the same substantial questions of law pending before it and High Courts, for speedy and uniform disposal.
Article 226 is the High Courts' writ jurisdiction, Article 142 lets the Supreme Court pass orders for complete justice and enforce its decrees, and Article 131 is the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction in Centre-state and inter-state disputes.
Hence, the answer is Article 139A; for ensuring justice and expeditious trial.
