Chitra Bedi, the judge of the special CBI court here who was hearing the fake stamp-paper scam cases involving Abdul Rehman Telgi, has been transferred to Nagpur as a family court judge.

Bedi handed over the charge yesterday to the principal judge of sessions court here, and would join in Nagpur within a week, the court sources said here today.

Reportedly, Bedi was to be transferred to Nagpur on June 6, but the transfer order came early, the sources added.

Three cases heard by Bedi, in which Telgi is a prime accused, have been reserved for verdict. Two other cases have been part-heard by her.

She had been hearing fake stamp-paper scam cases since February 28, 2008.

Defence lawyer, IP Bagadia, expressed surprise at the the sudden and early transfer, saying that pronouncement of judgment in Telgi cases would now be delayed. He said some of the accused were thinking of filing a petition in the high court challenging Bedi's transfer, on this ground.
