1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL REVISION APPLICATION NO. 273 OF 2010 Sudhakar Vinayak Joshi ..Applicant versus Sou. Sujata Umesh Joshi & Ors. ..Respondents Mr. P. K. Hushing for Applicant. Ms S. V. Gajare – APP for State. CORAM : D. D. SINHA , J. DATED : JUNE 30, 2010. P.C. : 1. Heard the learned counsel for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. Criminal Revision Application is directed against the order dated 24th December 2009 passed by the Principal District Judge and Sessions Judge, Pune, whereby the Criminal Misc. Application filed by the applicant under Section 408 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking transfer of Criminal Case No. 3431 of 2005 came to be rejected. 2 3. Considered the contentions canvassed by the respective counsels and perused the impugned order passed. 4. It is well settled that the request of the parties for transfer of the case cannot be granted merely on submitting application under Section 408 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The reason has to be genuine and should demonstrate that the apprehension entertained by the applicant in respect of the court concerned is genuine apprehension that the applicant is not likely to get justice from the said court. In the instant case the impugned order is well reasoned and therefore liable to be sustained in law. Criminal Revision Application suffers from lack of merits. The same is dismissed. (D. D. SINHA, J.)
