Justice Sanjay Gupta of the High Court on Friday dismissed an appeal by the banned Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik to transfer the trial of a 30-year-old case against the separatist leader from Jammu to Srinagar.

The High Court had earlier ordered the shifting of the trial involving the killing of an air force official in Srinagar to Jammu.

Yasin Malik is an accused in the case against whom the trial is currently being held in Jammu.
