Crl. Misc. No.M-10381 of 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Decided on: October 15, 2010. Crl. Misc. No.M-10381 of 2009. Urmila. .. Petitioner VERSUS State of Haryana and others. .. Respondents * * * CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI * * * PRESENT Mr.Ramesh Girdhar, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Amit Rana, DAG., Haryana. M.M.S. BEDI, J (ORAL). The petitioner, through the instant petition, seeks to transfer of investigation in FIR No.98 dated 21.03.2006, under Sections 192, 195, 205, 420 & 120-B,IPC, registered at Police Station, City Sonepat. The petitioner claims that respondent No.5, being a Constable at Panipat has got influence in the locality and that he has been able to harass the petitioner by marrying second time to another lady. . . . 1 Crl. Misc. No.M-10381 of 2009 I have heard the counsel for the petitioner as well as the respondent No.5, present in person. Respondent No.5, present in the Court informs that he has been discharged from his service and that he is no more an employee of the Police, at Panipat. While deciding the application for transfer, the convenience or the prejudice which is likely to be caused to a person at a particular place are few of the factors which are to be taken into consideration. The FIR was registered in the year 2006 and the trial is now pending in the Court of the Judicial Magistrate First Class, at Sonepat. The apprehension of the petitioner that respondent No.5, could use his influence to harass her in the area of Sonepat, is misconceived as respondent No.5 is no more in service. Taking into consideration all the circumstances, I do not find any ground to transfer the trial from Sonepat to Karnal, in view of the fact that convenience of the witnessers can also not be avoided. Unnecessary harassment will be caused to the witnesses in case the matter is transfer from Sonepat to Karnal. Dismissed. (M.M.S.BEDI) JUDGE October 15, 2010. rka . . . 2
