Crl. Misc. No. 8527 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH -.- Crl. Misc. No. 8527 of 2011 Date of decision:- March 21, 2011 Pooja Malhotra & Ors. ... Petitioners Versus Ashish Malhotra & Ors. ... Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present:- Mr. Gaurav Gupta, Advocate, for the petitioners. Gurdev Singh, J (oral) Heard. The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 407 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for transfer of the application filed under Section 125 Cr.P.C and pending in the Court of JMIC Panchkula, case pertaining to FIR No. 35 dated 18.1.2008 registered under Sections 323, 406, 498A, 506/120-B IPC and the criminal revision pending in the Court of Additional Sessions Judge, Panchkula, to the Court of District and Sessions Judge, Karnal, or to some other Court of competent jurisdiction. The only ground pleaded in the petition is that the petitioners are residing at Karnal and it is difficult for her to attend the said cases on each and every date, with two minor children at Panchkula and the minor children will be exposed unnecessarily to the Court proceedings and that she has no independent source of income. Petitioner No.1 is not supposed to take the children with her for Crl. Misc. No. 8527 of 2011 -2- attending the Court proceedings, unless their presence is required before the Court for any purpose. She herself has filed the application under Section 125 Cr.P.C in the Court at Panchkula and even the above said FIR was got lodged by her at that place. Merely because she has shifted to Karnal, with her minor children is not a ground for transfer of all these cases. She can filed an application for interim maintenance and litigation expenses and she cannot take the excuse that she has no such source to attend the Courts at Panchkula. No merit. Dismissed.
