The Bihar government on Tuesday told the Supreme Court that it is not "averse" to shifting of controversial RJD leader Mohammad Shahabuddin from Siwan jail to Tihar prison.

The state government, in which RJD is a coalition partner, concurred with stand of CBI which has already agreed to suggestion of the apex court that alleged history sheeter be shifted to Delhi as his continuous presence in Bihar may adversely impact the trials in various pending criminal cases against him.

The government told the bench comprising justices Dipak Misra and Amitava Roy that Shahabuddin has been facing trial in 45 cases including one in Jharkhand.
