Mr.Ashok G. Toraskar, adv. For the Applicant. Mr.P.D.Dalvi, adv. For the Respondent Nos.1to 5. Ms.A.T.Javeri, APP for the Respondent No.6. CORAM : J.H. BHATIA, J. DATED : JUNE 7, 2010 P.C. 1 Heard the learned counsel for the parties. On a report lodged by the applicant, police of Ichalkaranji registered an offence and after investigation filed charge-sheet in the Court of J.M.F.C., Ichalkaranji District: Kolhapur. Respondent no.1 is husband of the applicant and the respondent nos.2 to 5 are the other relatives. Applicant, who is residing with her parents at Indore wants criminal case be transferred from the Court of J.M.F.C., Ichalkaranji to the Court of J.M.F.C., Jalgaon which is nearest place in Maharashtra from Indore. According to her, it is inconvenient for her to attend the Court at Ichalkaranji on every date. Application is opposed. 2 Infact, applicant will be required to attend the Court only 2 when she will be summoned to give evidence in the matter. She is not expected nor required to attend the Court on every day as the case is not registered on her complaint but on the basis of chargesheet filed by the police. Accused persons, however, will be required to attend Court on every day. Jalgaon is at distance of about 700 kms. from Ichalkaranji. Respondent Nos.1 to 5 will have to travel such a long distance on every date when the matter is fixed. None of the parties is residing at Jalgaon nor any other litigation is pending between the parties at Jalgaon. Transfer of the matter from Ichalkaranji to Jalgaon will only act as harassment to the respondents. Applicant does not suffer from any inconvenience if the matter continues in the Court of Ichalkaranji. 3 Therefore, the application stands rejected. (J.H. BHATIA,J.)
