IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRAPRADESH AT HYDERABAD HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU TR.CRIMINAL PETITION No.86 of 2010 DATE:25.08.2010 Between: P.Aliveni …… Petitioner And: State of A.P., rep. By its Public Prosecutor And others …..Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU TR.CRIMINAL PETITION No.86 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner, mother of the deceased victim, who is a witness in S.C. No.338 of 2008 on the file of Assistant Sessions Judge, Adoni seeks transfer of the case out of Kurnool District and to the Court of Assistant Sessions Judge, Gadwal on the ground that there is threat to her life and that on 05.03.2010 A-1, A-3 and A-5 came to her house and threatened that if she goes to Adoni to give evidence, they would kill her. The respondents 2 to 6/A-1 to A-5 are accused of offences punishable under Sections 498-A and 306 I.P.C. It is not as if the petitioner has given any report to the police about the alleged threat on 05.03.2010. There is no basis for the apprehension expressed by the petitioner. It is stated that Crime No.67 of 2010 was registered by the Gadwal police with regard to missing of the petitioner’s husband. I do not find any valid reasons to transfer the case from Adoni to Gadwal, since the offences are alleged have taken place within the jurisdiction of Adoni Court. In case there is any real threat, then the petitioner is at liberty to approach the police for protection to her on the day when she goes to Adoni for giving evidence. 2) Hence, the petition is dismissed. _______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J August 25, 2010 KSH
