Trial in the actor rape case will be shifted from the CBI-3 Special Court to the Principal District and Sessions Court, Ernakulam. However, there will not be any change in the judge considering the case.
The transfer order was issued by the Kerala High Court on Monday.
The change has been introduced following the transfer of K.K. Balakrishnan, Additional District Judge-1 of Thiruvananthapuram, as Special Judge CBI-3, Ernakulam. With the appointment of the new judge to the CBI court, the actor rape case will be recalled from the court and posted to the Principal District and Sessions Court.
