THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU TRANSFER CRIMINAL PETITION No. 101 OF 2009 ORDER: 1. This Transfer Criminal Petition is filed under Section 407 Cr.P.C. to transfer C.C. No.67 of 2009 on the file of the II Additional Junior Civil Judge, Gurazala to any Court of competent jurisdiction at Vijayawada, on the ground that there was no cause of action to lodge the complaint at Gurazala. 2. Heard both sides. 3. The allegation is that all the accused trespassed into the house of parents of the complainant, which is situated in Gogulapadu village, Gurazala mandal, and harassed her for additional dowry, which is prima facie an offence punishable under Section 498A I.P.C. Therefore, a part of cause of action arose within the jurisdiction of the Gurazala Court. 4. Further, balance of convenience is the prime criterion for effecting transfer of a case from one court to another. The convenience must relate to both parties. The complainant as well as witnesses are residents of Gurazala mandal. If the case is transferred to Vijayawada, it may be convenience to the petitioners/accused. But, certainly, it would cause inconvenience to the complainant and witnesses. So, for the convenience of the petitioners alone, the case cannot be transferred as prayed for. Therefore, there are no grounds to transfer the case as prayed for. 5. The Transfer Criminal Petition is devoid of merit and is, accordingly, dismissed. ---------------- 22.7.2010 DRK THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU TRANSFER CRIMINAL PETITION No. 101 OF 2009 Date: 22.7.2010 Between: Thummuru Vivek Reddy @ Larens Reddy @ Pandu & others …Petitioners And Thummuru Anu Radha & another …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU TRANSFER CRIMINAL PETITION No. 101 OF 2009 22.7.2010
