IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Criminal Transfer Application No. 16/2010 Trilok Nath Mishra …Petitioner Versus Rakesh Kumar Bhatt …Respondent Hon’ble Tarun Agarwala, J. Heard Sri Pankaj Miglani, the learned counsel for the petitioner. The present transfer application has been filed for transfer of the case from the court of Judicial Magistrate, Vikas Nagar, Dehradun, to some other court. The allegation for transfer of the case is that, the opposite party is an Advocate and is influencing the court. Further, the petitioner is apprehending that he would be beaten up if he entered the court premises. In my opinion, the contention of the petitioner is patently baseless inasmuch as the opposite party is a resident of Sahaspur, Dehradun, and is a practicing Advocate of the District Court, Dehradun, whereas the case is presently pending before the court of Judicial Magistrate, Vikas Nagar, Dehradun. Further, this Court, while hearing the matter, had directed the petitioner to consider the deposit of certain amount before proceeding with this case. The learned counsel for the petitioner had sought the instructions and intimated the Court that the petitioner refused to deposit any amount towards the complaint case filed under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. In view of the aforesaid, this Court is not inclined to interfere in the matter. The transfer application is accordingly dismissed. (Tarun Agarwala, J.) 20-12-2010 Salim/
