(1) The Supreme Court may, on the ground of suspicion or in the interest of public policy, withdraw a case from any court and transfer it for trial to another court of the same jurisdiction or appoint magistrates within the jurisdiction of a different Court of Appeal to hear and determine the matter.
(2) The application for transfer may be made by the Legal Department or by any other party.
However, only the Legal Department may base its application on grounds of public policy.
