IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. 3253 M of 2010 Date of decision:- 3.2.2010 Kusum Rani petitioner vs State of Punjab and others Respondent Present: Mr. Harish Sharma, Advocate. M.M.S.BEDI,J. The petitioner seeks the transfer of the criminal proceedings, pending in the court at Patiala to Rohtak inter alia on the ground that an application u/s 125 Cr.P.C., filed by the petitioner is pending in district Rohtak at Meham. Learned counsel has argued that since the petitioner was thrown from the roof by her husband at Patiala, she is bed ridden and it will not be possible for her to pursue the case as a complainant or to appear as a witness. Only challan has been presented. The ground that the petition u/s 125 Cr.P.C. is pending at Rohtak is not sufficient enough to transfer the case from Patiala to Rohtak. The petitioner being a complainant is also not required to appear on each date of hearing before the trial court. In case, at the time of appearance as a witness, she is unable to travel from Rohtak to Patiala, it will be open to her to move an application before this court. Depending upon her physical condition at that time, her prayer for transfer of the proceedings would be considered. The above said order has been passed because the convenience of the prosecution agency and other witnesses can also not be ignored while considering the comfort of the complainant. Dismissed. In case of any threat to the life or liberty of the other witnesses, it will be open to the said persons to file a representation to the concerned SSP, Patiala or Rohtak for necessary assistance and protection.
