C-407 No. 03 of 2010 Hon. Prafulla C. Pant, J. Ms. Sangeeta Bhardwaj, Advocate holding brief of Mr. R.P. Nautiyal, Advocate present for the petitioner. Mr. B.S. Parihar, Brief Holder present for the respondent State. Heard learned counsel for the parties. By means of this petition, moved under Section 407 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, the petitioner has sought transfer of the Sessions Trial No. 10 of 2009, State Vs. Sadab Ali Ansari, relating to offences punishable under Section 364, 302, 201 of I.P.C., pending in the court of Sessions Judge, Chamoli. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that petitioner is a resident of Nazibabad (district Bijnor, U.P.) and Gopeshwar at Chamoli where the trial is going on is at a distance of 300 kilometers. It is pleaded in the petition that petitioner is 22 years old unemployed youth and it is difficult for him to go to Chamoli for trial. It is further pleaded that the complainant of the sessions trial has also challaned the petitioner under Section 107 / 116 of Cr.P.C., and petitioner has been served with notices under Section 111 of Cr.P.C. It is also stated that the petitioner is not getting proper legal aid at Chamoli. But, from the order sheet it appears that he is represented through his counsel Mr. S.S. Kunwar in the case, and his presence has been exempted through counsel on some dates. Having considered submissions of learned counsel for the parties and after going through the papers on record, this Court does not find sufficient reason to transfer the trial at this stage from Chamoli to another district. Therefore, this petition under Section 407 of Cr.P.C. is disposed of with the observation that the trial court shall proceed with the trial as expeditiously as possible. (Prafulla C.
