Application No.283/2011 drp IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 283 OF 2011 Maharudra Mallappa Kante APPLICANT VERSUS The State of Maharashtra & others RESPONDENTS ....... Mr.T.M.Vanjane h/f Mr.S.P.Urgunde, Advocate for the applicant Mr.S.D.Kaldate, APP for respondent State Mr.Jyodeep Chatterji, Advocate for Respondents No.2 to 5 ....... [CORAM : A.V.POTDAR, J.] DATE: 7 th October 2011 PER COURT: 1. By the application, the applicant seeks transfer of proceedings, bearing Criminal M.A. No.68/2010, filed by respondent No.2 under the Domestic Violence Act, 2005, before the JMFC, Udgir to Latur. 2. Heard. It is alleged that respondent No.2, wife of the applicant along with some of her friends, is not allowing the {2} Cri. Application No.283/2011 applicant to enter in Udgir town to attend the Court matter. When asked as to whether any complaint has been lodged by the applicant, learned counsel for the applicant very fairly states that no such complaint has been filed. According to learned counsel for the applicant, in past also, when the application for maintenance was moved before JMFC, Udgir by respondent No.2 at that time also, as respondent No.2 did not allow the applicant to enter in Udgir City hence he could not attend the said proceedings which resulted in exparte decision in the same. This fact cannot be considered as relevant factor in absence of any evidence that due to the act of respondent No.2, the applicant is prohibited from entering in Udgir and is unable to attend the Court. These allegations cannot be accepted and hence on the basis of said allegations, transfer of proceedings cannot be claimed. Accordingly, the application, which is sans merits, stands rejected. Stay stands vacated. [A.V.POTDAR, J.] drp/B11/criapln283-11
