Majority held the High Court judge correctly exercised discretion under s.417 CPC: the issues arising from the use of the Witness Protection Act were not questions of law of unusual difficulty and could be determined by the Sessions Court judge; the prosecution's in‑court non‑objection did not amount to a s.418A certificate; there was no relevant error or miscarriage of justice warranting appellate intervention, therefore the dismissal of the transfer application was affirmed.
