The petitioners have a limited prayer viz. for transfer of four criminal complaints filed in three different Courts to be transferred to one Court at Mumbai. In Criminal Writ Petition No.3 of 2006 and Criminal Writ Petition No.4 of 2006 we had directed the investigation in CR No. 223 of 2005 and CR No.155 of 2005 to be handed over to the Economic Offences Wing. Investigation has been completed by the EOW in four different CRs i.e. CR Nos.123, 223, 155 and 62 of 2005. We are informed that the charge-sheet in CR Nos.123 and 223 of 2005 has been submitted in the 19th Court of Metropolitan Magistrate, Mumbai, charge- sheet in CR No.62 of 2005 has been submitted to the 25th Court of Metropolitan Magistrate, Mazgaon and charge-sheet in CR No.155 of 2005 has been submitted in the Court of Metropolitan Magistrate at Vikhroli. The petitioner prays for transfer of all these cases to any one Court in Mumbai. Thus the petitioners seek to invoke the powers under Section 408 of Cr.P.C. and more so when all the cases are triable by the Court of Metropolitan Magistrate. 3 wp-1665 & 1666-2011 2.
