THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU TRANSFER CRIMINAL PETITION No. 65 OF 2009 ORDER: 1. This Transfer Criminal Petition is filed under Section 407 Cr.P.C. to transfer C.C. No.245 of 2008 on the file of the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Narsapur, West Godavari district, to the file of the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Sanga Reddy, Medak district. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is unable to undertake journey to the court at Narsapur, which is at a distance of about 300 KMs from her place of stay, and hence, prayed to transfer the case. The learned counsel for the second respondent opposes the same on the ground that it causes inconvenience to the complainant and other witnesses. 3. Balance of convenience is the prime criterion for effecting transfer of a case from one court to another. The convenience must relate to both parties. The petitioner is wife of the second respondent herein. C.C.No.245 of 2008 is registered against the petitioner for the offence punishable under Section 324 I.P.C. If the case is transferred to the Court at Sanga Reddy, it is convenient to the petitioner alone. But, it certainly causes inconvenience to the witnesses cited in the criminal case, who are residing within the jurisdiction of the Narsapur court. So, for the convenience of the petitioner alone, the case cannot be transferred as prayed for, especially when it causes inconvenience to the witnesses. Therefore, there are no grounds to transfer the case as prayed for. 4. The Transfer Criminal Petition is devoid of merit and is, accordingly, dismissed. ---------------- 22.7.2010 DRK THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU TRANSFER CRIMINAL PETITION No. 65 OF 2009 Date: 22.7.2010 Between: M.Manimala, w/o.
