As per case facts, the respondent, Rajesh Ranjan known as Pappu Yadav, was in judicial custody following bail cancellation but was observed addressing an election meeting. Subsequent inquiries revealed he ... misused a production warrant, engaged in unauthorized visits, used a cell phone, interacted with hardened criminals, and was implicated in a murder conspiracy, consistently violating jail manual rules. The jail authorities were deemed incapable of controlling his illegal activities. The question arose whether the Supreme Court could use its powers under Article 142 to order an inter-state transfer of an undertrial prisoner when local authorities failed to control him, and if such a transfer would infringe upon his fundamental rights or right to a fair trial. Finally, the Supreme Court affirmed its inherent powers under Article 142 to ensure complete justice. Finding that the respondent had repeatedly disregarded the law and Bihar jail authorities could not control him, the Court ordered his transfer from Beur Jail, Patna, to Tihar Jail, Delhi. It mandated video conferencing for trial proceedings and allowed family visitations as per the Tihar Jail manual, explicitly denying special privileges.
