NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear a plea to shift RJD leader Mohammad Shahabuddin, facing trial in 45 criminal cases, from Siwan jail in Bihar to the national capital's Tihar jail.
"Ensuring free and fair trial against the strongman while protecting the witnesses is a challenge for the judiciary," the top court said.
A bench of Justices Dipak Misra and Amitav Roy said it would take a call on Tuesday whether to shift Shahabuddin out of Siwan jail and and whether trial in all cases against him should be held in Delhi.
