Transfer of cases

(1) Where more than one Special Judge are appointed within the territorial jurisdiction of a High Court, the High Court, and where not more than one Special Judge is so appointed, the Federal Government, may by order in writing direct the transfer, at any stage of the trial, of any case from the court of one Special Judge to the Court of another Special Judge for disposal, whenever it appears to the High Court or, as the case may be, the Federal Government, that such transfer may promote the ends of justice or tend to the general convenience of the parties or witnesses.
(2) In respect of a case transferred to a Special Judge under subsection (1), such Special Judge shall not by reason of the said transfer, be bound to recall and rehear any witness whose evidence has been recorded in the case before the transfer and may act upon the evidence already recorded or produced before the court which tried the case before the transfer.
