This Petition coming on for Admission this day, the
Court made the following:
ORDER
Petitioner has sought for transfer of C.C.No597/2010 now pending on the file of JMFC, Mudigere to Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Bangalore.
2. The petitioner was the complainant. She had filed a complaint against respondent No.2 for the offence punishable under Section 498(A) of IPC. The charge sheet is filed by Mudigere police. However, after the charge sheet was filed, on account of the dispute amongst the respondent No.2 and the petitioner, petitioner shifted to her parents' house at Bangalore and only for the purpose of attending the case in C.C.No.597/2010, she has to travel from Bangalore to Mudigere and further, she has got minor son and it is very 3 difficult to attend the case. It is also submitted that the petitioner has also filed criminal miscellaneous under the provisions of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence and respondent No.2 has also filed a petition for divorce in Tiptur and the said case has been transferred to Bangalore and another case was also filed in Mudigere for custody of child, which is also transferred to Bangalore.
3. All the three cases between the parties have been transferred to Bangalore and only this case is pending before JMFC, Mudigere. Further amongst the material witnesses, three witnesses viz, the complainant, her mother and her brother are in Bangalore and remaining are the official witnesses. In these circumstances, I find that it would be just and proper to withdraw C.C.No.597/2010 on the file of JMFC, Mudigere and place the same before the Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Bangalore.
Accordingly, petition is allowed. C.C.No.597/2010 is withdrawn from the Court of the jMFC, Mudigere and placed qV' 4 before the Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Bangalore. Both the parties are directed to co-operate for speedy disposal.
