Is there a legal avenue through which the cases can be moved out of Gujarat, as the victims are now demanding? "Technically yes. If the Supreme Court wants, it can take suo motu cognisance of the case and move it to a court outside Gujarat,'' says former Bombay High Court judge Hosbet Suresh. Adds Prashant Bhushan, senior Supreme Court lawyer: "Zaheera's point is correct. Given the situation in Gujarat, it is impossible to expect a fair trial. But the high court is not authorised to transfer trials from within its own jurisdiction.''
