Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The High Court may act on a lower court's report, an interested party's application or its own initiative. Section 447(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 407(2) CrPC) expressly recognises all three routes for considering transfer. An application to transfer between criminal courts in the same sessions division ordinarily first requires an unsuccessful application to the Sessions Judge.
