Supreme Court held lower court must transfer serious assault case to main hearing upon request.

The Supreme Court ruled that the Court of Appeal was obligated to transfer a serious assault case to the main hearing upon the prosecution's request. The prosecution argued that the severity of the alleged assault required a full main hearing for proper adjudication, while the defense contended otherwise. The court decided in favor of the prosecution, establishing that such serious offenses mandate a main hearing to ensure procedural fairness and thorough fact-finding.
