R5 BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR MR.HRITHWIK. THIS TRANSFER PETITION (CRIMINAL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: rs. V.RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------------- Tr.P.(Crl.) No.41 OF 2010 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 2nd day of August, 2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the common accused in four cases pending before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kollam, J.F.C.M Court, Paravoor, J.F.C.M Court, Sasthamkotta and J.F.C.M Court, Kayamkulam as L.P.No.98/2008, L.P.No.93/2007 L.P.No.184/2004 and C.C.No.272/2000 respectively, all under the Negotiable Instruments Act seek a transfer of the above cases to J.F.C.M Court, Kottarakara so as to enable the petitioner to settle the claims in all those cases. Three of the above cases are pending in the long pending register and warrants of arrest are pending against the petitioner. It is admitted that even steps under Section 82 and 83 Cr.P.C have been taken against the petitioner. Admittedly, the cheque amounts, the date of transactions and complainants in all the above cases are different. Under these circumstances I am not inclined to grant the prayer of the petitioner to transfer the cases to the J.F.C.M Court, Kottarakara. This Criminal M.C is dismissed. Communicate copies of this order to the respective Courts for information. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE dmb
