State of Haryana and anr. 2026 LiveLaw (PH) 79ReportsUnfavourable Orders Can't Become Basis For Transfer Of Trial, Courts Must Curb Forum Hunting: Punjab & Haryana High CourtTitle: Dinesh Chand Bansal v.

At this stage, it cannot be said that there does not exist a reasonable apprehension/concern that his release may affect the course of investigation or trial including the possibility of influencing the witness(s)."Consensual Relationship Turning Sour Can't Be Treated As Rape: Punjab & Haryana High Court Quashes FIRTitle: XXX v.
