1 Cri.W.P.No.2240/09 SNS IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MUMBAI APPELLATE CRIMINAL JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.3226 OF 2010 Shaguphta Z. Pangarkar ...Applicant. v. Zaheer Dilawar Pangarkar and Ors. ...Respondents. Mr.P.B.Shah, adv. for the applicant. Mr.A.M.Bhalerao, adv. For the Respondent Nos.1 to 3. Smt.V.R.Bhosale, APP for the R.No.4. CORAM : J.H. BHATIA, J. DATED : AUGUST 17, 2010 P.C. 1 Heard the learned counsel for the parties. 2 Applicant is wife of the respondent no.1. They married sometimes in 2001 and it appears that shortly after the marriage, relations got strained and the applicant filed complaint in the Court of J.M.F.C., Vashi. On the basis of that complaint, investigation was made by the police and the chargesheet has been filed. Now it is registered as C.C.No.100/2010 pending before the learned J.M.F.C., Vashi, New Bombay. The applicant contends that she has also filed application under Section 125 of the Cr.P.C. and also filed Criminal Miscellaneous Application No.452 of 2009 under the Domestic Violence Act, 2005 2 Cri.W.P.No.2240/09 against the husband and both of these matters are pending before the J.M.F.C., Satara and as she is living with her parents at Satara, case filed under Section 498A be also transferred from the Court of J.M.F.C., Vashi to the J.M.F.C., Satara. It is contended that it causes great inconvenience to her and her witnesses to come to the Court at Vashi on every date and that she can not travel alone because of the small child she has to look after. 3 It appears that the applicant has filed one after another three cases, one is pending before the J.M.F.C., Vashi and two are before J.M.F.C., Satara. The case, which is sought to be transferred is filed in the Court in the form of charge-sheet by the police and the applicant and her witnesses will be required to attend the Court at Vashi as and when witness summons would be served upon them. It being the State case, she is not expected nor she is required to attend the case on every date. It is difficult to understand why and how she would be put to a great hardship when she is required to attend the Court as and when she is called to give the evidence. Accused no.2 is a senior citizen aged about 60 years and respondent no.3 is a young lady aged about 28 years. If the case is transferred from Vashi to Satara, not only the husband but also the respondent nos.2 and 3 will be required to travel from Vashi to Satara on 3 Cri.W.P.No.2240/09 every date to attend the Court. In such circumstances, if this case is transferred from Vashi to Satara, greater hardship will be caused to the respondents particularly the respondent nos.2 and 3 while no such hardship will cause to the applicant, if she is required to attend the Court at Vashi on one or two occasions just to give evidence. Therefore, I find no substance in the application. 4 Application stands dismissed. (J.H. BHATIA,J.)
