SBI R2 BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR THIS TRANSFER PETITION (CRIMINAL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 12/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Mn THOMAS P.JOSEPH, J. ==================================== Tr.P(Crl.) No.59 of 2010 ==================================== Dated this the day of January, 2011 O R D E R Petitioner is a lawyer and accused in S.T.C. No.202 of 2008, originally of the court of learned Judicial First Class Magistrate-II, Ottappalam under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Later that case was transferred to the court of learned Munsiff- Magistrate, Pattambi. Petitioner is dealing with motor accident cases in various MACTS in Palakkad District. Petitioner now wants the case to be transferred out of Palakkad District and is agreeable for trail of the case in any court in Thrissur District. On going through the petition and hearing learned counsel, I do not find justifiable reason to transfer the case from the court of learned Munsiff-Magistrate, Pattambi to which court case was transferred. If petitioner finds it inconvenient to attend the court it is open to him to seek exemption from the court concerned and permit him appear through counsel. Without prejudice to that right of petitioner this Criminal Miscellaneous Case is closed. THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JUDGE. vsv
