THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY TRANSFER CRIMINAL PETITION No.284 OF 2010 DATED: 06-12-2010 ORDER: This petition is filed under Section 407 Cr.P.C., seeking transfer of C.C.No.573 of 2010 from file of the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Tiruvuru to the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Kothagudem. 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners; learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the 1st respondent-State. Perused the record. 3. 1st petitioner is the husband of the 2nd respondent. 2nd petitioner is the mother of the 1st petitioner. 2nd respondent filed a complaint against the petitioners alleging offence under Section 498-A IPC and the same was registered as Cr.No.42 of 2008 of Tiruvuru police station, Kothagudem and after investigation police filed charge sheet for the alleged offence and the same was taken cognizance by the learned Magistrate as C.C.No.573 of 2010. 4. Petitioners seek transfer of the case from the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Tiruvuru to the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Kothagudem on the ground that they are facing threats from the 2nd respondent and therefore they are not in a position to attend the Court at Tiruvuru. The said plea appears vague and totally unsubstantial as no material is placed before the Court to show that any such threats were unleashed by the 2nd respondent. It is obvious that because petitioners are residing at Paloncha village, Khammam District they are seeking transfer of the case to a Court, which is nearer to their place of residence. There are absolutely no valid or justifiable grounds to transfer C.C.No.573 of 2010 from the Court of competent jurisdiction at Tiruvuru to any other Court. 5. In the result, Transfer Criminal Petition is dismissed. _______________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 06th December, 2010 Tsy
