PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. GIKKU JACOB THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: M.N. KRISHNAN, J ----------------------- CRL.M.C.No. 908 OF 2009 --------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of March, 2009 O R D E R This petition is filed with a prayer to set aside the order passed by the Assistant Sessions Judge, Kozhikode in S.C. 334/2007 whereby a prayer was made to advance the case in order to enable the accused to face the trial as expeditiously as possible as he is employed away in Gulf Countries. The Assistant Sessions Judge dismissed the petition on the ground that it is giving preferential treatment to the targeted cases and it may not be fair to take it for evidence at this stage. I feel the whole problem can be solved by transferring the case to one of the Fast Track Court working in Kozhikode. Therefore I invoke Section 407 of the Crl.P.C on this court's own initiative and transfer S.C. 334/2007 from the file of the Assistant Sessions Judge, Kozhikode to the Fast Track Court-I, Kozhikode for trial and disposal. The Fast Track Court shall try for an early disposal. The Crl.M.C is disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE vkm
