THIS CRIMINAL PETITION COMING ON FOR
ORDERS THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE THE
FOLLOWING:-
ORDER
In this petition, the petitioner has prayed for transfer of CC No.665/2012 pending on the file of JMFC II Court at Hubli to JMFC at Chitradurga.
2. The petitioner is the wife of second respondent who is working as an Asst.Engineer At Dharwad. The petitioner lodged a complaint with the police at Hubli and the same came to be registered in 3 Crime No.14/2012. After investigation, the Hubli police now filed a Charge sheet before the JMFC Court at Hubli in C.C. No.665/2012.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner and other witnesses are from Chitradurga and therefore the matter requires to be transferred to the Court of Chitradurga. I decline to accept this contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner.
4. Petitioner is only required to appear before the Court at Hubli for giving evidence on one occasion. On this ground, the proceedings before the Hubli Court cannot be transferred to the Court at Chitradurga. Accordingly, the petition is hereby dismissed.
