Petitioner V/s. The State, represented by Public Prosecutor, High Court of AP Hyderabad & 6-Ors. … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner : Sri K. CHIDAMBARAM Counsel for the Respondents: Addl.Public Prosecutor The Court made the following : (Order follows 2nd page) THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU TRANSFER CRL.PETITION No. 2 0 6 OF 2007 O R D E R : The petitioner/A1 seeks transfer of CC.No. 514 of 2004 from the file of II-Additional Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Machilipatnam to the file of Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Palakol on the ground that at Palakolanother CC.No.146 of 2006 is pending against him and others, for the same offence. The second respondent/defacto complainant is wife of A-1. Respondents 3 to 7 are other accused, who are relations of A-1. After marriage, A-1 and the second respondent lived together at Palakol of West Godavari district. It is further alleged that after mediation, both of them resided for some time at Machilipatnam. 2. The allegations in CC.No. 514 of 2004 are to the effect that the victim was harassed at Machilipatnam also, so the Magistrate Court of Machilipatnam is having jurisidiction to entertain the case at Machilipatnam. 3. As the matter now stands, the second respondent is at Machilipatnam in her parents house. 4. It is stated by the petitioner’s counsel that the second respondent is infact notin Machilipatnam but is claiming to be residing at Vijayawada. In any event, if the case is transferred from Machilipatnam to Palakol, the second respondent is going to suffer hardship. Not only the second respondent but also the Robertsonpet Police of Machilipatnam will have to face hardship, as they have to attend the Court at Palakol on every date of adjournment and produce witnesses of Palakol instead of Machilipatnam. Therefore, I do not find any valid or legal reasons to transfer the case from Machilipatnam to Palakol. 5. Hence, the petition is dismissed. ____________________________________ Justice Samudrala Govindarajulu.. 02-06-2010.
