Transfer petitions under Article 139 of the Constitution provide a mechanism to move a case from the High Court to the Supreme Court when the interests of justice demand a different jurisdiction.

Criminal breach of trust cases often revolve around accusations that a defendant has misappropriated property or funds entrusted to them.
