Kasera, who handled anticipatory bail pleas in the matter, approved relief for suspended judge Virendra Singh Rawat earlier this month. On December 19, he granted bail to court typist Neetu Singh following her arrest. The transfer order, issued by the High Court's Registrar General, took effect immediately, sources confirmed.

The case stems from Crime No. 155/2021, registered at Indore's MG Road police station. Prosecutors allege that fake court orders were created in 2021 to help Verma, president of the state's Scheduled Caste and Tribe officers' association (AJJAKS), clear pending charges and secure his IAS promotion.

Rawat, the former judge whose name appeared on the disputed orders, and typist Singh face accusations of conspiracy in forging documents. Police recently arrested Singh, who was allegedly involved in typing the fake judgments. Rawat remains suspended pending investigation.

The sudden transfer of Kasera has fueled speculation in legal circles, with some viewing it as administrative routine and others questioning the timing amid intense scrutiny of the probe.

Verma himself faced arrest in 2021 over the forgery allegations but later secured bail from the Supreme Court. The case resurfaced recently, drawing renewed attention alongside separate controversies involving his public statements.

Investigators say the fabricated orders aimed to resolve a prior complaint against Verma. The matter remains active, with police probing deeper links.

As proceedings continue, the transfer adds another layer to a scandal that has raised concerns over judicial integrity and bureaucratic accountability in Madhya Pradesh.
