CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.833/2009 Dinesh Chandra Maingi. ....Petitioner V/s Shivkant Choudhary and another. ....Respondents ............. Mr.Joseph, Advocate for the Petitioner. Mr.S.S.Pedrekar, APP for the State. ............. CORAM : A.S.OKA, J. Dated :- 08th May, 2009 PC :- 1 Heard the learned counsel appearing for the Petitioner. The Petitioner is the complainant in a complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881. The challenge in this Writ Petition is to the order dated 12.03.2009 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge directing the learned Chief Metropolitan Magistrate to transfer the complaint from the Court of the learned Metropolitan Magistrate, 10th Court, Andheri to any other Court for disposal in accordance with law. 2 The grievance of the learned counsel for the Petitioner is that till today the order is not acted upon, as a result, the hearing of the complaint filed by the Petitioner is getting delayed. 3 I have considered the submissions. By the impugned order the learned Additional Sessions Judge has issued direction to transfer the complaint filed by the Petitioner from the Court of the learned Metropolitan Magistrate, 10th Court, Andheri to any other Court. It is for the learned Chief Metropolitan Magistrate to decide as to which Court the complaint should be transferred considering the administrative exigencies. 4 Though no interference is called for, however, the suitable directions are required to be issued to ensure that the hearing of the complaint filed by the Petitioner 2 is not delayed. 5 Writ Petition is rejected. 6 The learned Chief Metropolitan Magistrate will act upon the impugned order dated 12.03.2009 and pass suitable administrative order of transferring the complaint to the appropriate Court. The order shall be passed before 25.05.2009. 7 The concerned Court to which the complaint is transferred will ensure that the complaint will be disposed of expeditiously. JUDGE
