Punjab and Haryana High Court Rejects CBI Request to Transfer Gurugram School Murder Trial
The Punjab and Haryana High Court dismissed the CBI's petition to transfer the trial of a 2017 Gurugram school murder case to a special court in Panchkula. The case involves the death of a seven-year-old student, with the accused being a Class 11 student tried as an adult. The court ruled that under the Juvenile Justice Act, the trial must be held in a children's court, and transferring it at this stage could delay proceedings. The trial continues in Gurugram.
