Shalini Dhondopant Kulkarni & Ors. Respondents Mr. Mahendra Agarekar i/b. Mandar Limaye,Advocate, for the applicant. Ms. A.T.Javeri, APP, for the respondent No.12. CORAM: J.H.BHATIA,J. DATE : 12th August, 2010. P.C. 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner. 2. The petitioner filed a complaint for different offences, including under Sections 404, 407, 420, 120B read with Sec. 34 IPC against the respondents. Admittedly, the property in respect of which the offences were committed is situated in Solapur District. All the accused, except accused Nos. 1 and 8, who are relatives of the present petitioner, are residing at Karmala, District Solapur. The witnesses are also from that area. The petitioner seeks the matter to be transferred from the Court of J.M.F.C., Karmala to the Court at Pune. 3. From the arguments advanced by the learned Counsel for the petitioner, it appears that it will be convenient to the petitioner if the matter is 2 CriA-4738-09.sxw transferred to Pune, as he is a permanent resident of Pune and presently in service at Mumbai. This can be hardly any ground for transfer of the criminal case from Karmala to Pune. If the matter is transferred, it will cause great hardship to the accused persons. Therefore, the Application stands dismissed. (J.H.BHATIA,J.)
