A Delhi court has dismissed a man's plea seeking the transfer of a murder case against him to any other court, based on allegations of bias against the magisterial court.

Principal District and Sessions Judge Madhu Jain was presiding over the plea which had been filed by a man named Ankit. The accused is currently facing trial for various offences, including murder, stemming from a first information report (FIR) registered by the Tilak Nagar Police, reported PTI.

The accused claimed the absence of a "proper, fair and effective opportunity" to represent himself, contending that the transfer of the case was essential to ensure the ends of justice were met.
