Cr.Misc. M 27418 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYNA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. M 27418 of 2010 Date of decision:17.9.2010 Harjinder Kaur Petitioner vs. Gurdeep Singh and others Respondent Present: Mr. Pradeep Sharma, Advocate. M.M.S.BEDI,J. This is a petition for transfer of the proceedings in a State case in FIR No. 103 dated 22.6.2008 u/s 498-A/323/506 IPC registered at P.S. Fatehgarh Sahib and the proceedings in a criminal complaint filed by the petitioner against Gurdeep Singh and others u/s 200 Cr.P.C. in the above said offences pending in the court at Fatehgarh Sahib, to some other court of competent jurisdiction on the ground of convenience submitting that the petitioner is not keeping a good health and is getting treatment from PGI and that she cannot afford to attend the proceedings in the complaint case and the State case at Fatehgarh Sahib. I have considered the contents of the transfer application and I am of the opinion that instead of transferring the criminal case from Fatehgarh Sahib to any other place, it will be appropriate, in the interest of justice, in case a direction is issued that if the petitioner files an application for exemption from personal appearance in a complaint case, the said application will be allowed by the trial court subject to any conditions. So far as the State case is concerned, it is apparent that the petitioner being a complainant, is not required to appear on each and every date of hearing. Cr.Misc. M 27418 of 2010 2 The above said order will be operative in case both the State case and the private complaint case are entrusted to one court for simultaneous adjudication. Disposed of.
