IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH : HYDERABAD FRIDAY, THE NINTEENTH (19TH) DAY OF NOVEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND TEN Present: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY Transfer Criminal Petition No.274 of 2010 Between: A. Velu … Petitioner And: Thyagarajan Kuppuswamy & another … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY Transfer Criminal Petition No.274 of 2010 ORDER: This petition is filed under Section 407 Cr.P.C. seeking transfer of SC No.444 of 2009 on the file of the IV Additional District Judge (FTC), Mahaboobnagar to the Court of Principal District & Sessions Judge, Chittoor. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner land the learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the 2nd respondent-State. Perused the record. 3. The petitioner is the de-facto-complainant. According to him, the first respondent is facing prosecution for the offence under Section 304-B of IPC. The petitioner seeks transfer of the case from the Court of IV Additional District Judge (FTC), Mahaboobnagar to the Court of Principal District & Sessions Judge, Chittoor on the ground that he is resident of Tamilnadu and he does not know Telugu language and it is very difficult for him to depose in the language other than his mother tongue. 4. Section 277 Cr.P.C. lays down the procedure to be followed by the trial Court when the witness has any difficulty to depose in the language of the Court. The trial Court would certainly follow the procedure prescribed under Section 277 Cr.P.C., if any such need or occasion arises during the course of trial. The plea that the petitioner is not acquainted with the language of the Court is no ground for ordering transfer of the case from the Court of competent jurisdiction to some other Court. There are no merits in the petition. 4. In the result, the transfer criminal petition is dismissed. ____________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J Date: 19.11.2010 Note: Issue CC by Monday (BO) BSS
