Transfer of criminal case to another court

Complainant sought transfer of trial from one court to another on the ground that he had received an information that the accused persons would be acquitted by the Trial Court

No case for transfer was made out for the reason that mere words of the complainant were not sufficient

Not a single instance was quoted about the conduct of the Presiding Officer

Rumors were no ground for transfer of the case

Trial judge was conducting the trial expeditiously as it had been declared as Model Criminal Trial Courts (MCTC)

High Court observed that only objective appeared to be not to allow the Trial Court to complete the trial expeditiously

Transfer application was dismissed.

Complainant sought transfer of criminal case to another court on the basis that accused persons were police officials and were harassing him and issuing threats

Plea of accused persons that complainant had not even recorded his statement in court as yet, and that transferring of case to another district would cause them inconvenience, their financial position would be adversely affected and their duty would also suffer

Validity

No reasonable ground had been mentioned in the transfer application except alleged harassment, whereas, the matter was pending since the year 2010 and the complainant had not even got his statement recorded so far

No complaint about alleged harassment had been filed before the police or Trial Court

High Court directed complainant to attend the case on the next date of hearing and get his statement recorded, and concerned police official was directed to provide protection to complainant, if requested by him

Transfer application was disposed of accordingly.
