SC denies transfer of TikTok cases from Madras HC

The Supreme Court has refused to hear a plea of Chinese social media app Tik-Tok for the transfer of cases relating to its ban from the Madras High Court to the apex court.
A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi did not agree with the contention of senior advocate A M Singhvi, appearing for the Chinese firm, that all the matters pending in the Madurai bench of the Madras High Court be transferred to the Supreme Court for final and expeditious disposal.
“We are not inclined to entertain this transfer petition,” the bench, which also had Justice Deepak Gupta, said prompting the firm to withdraw its transfer plea.
