CHIEF JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE, For Petitioner :SRI.N.NAGARESH For Respondent : No Appearance JUDGMENT The petitioner has approached this court with the following prayers:
2. Taking note of the specific pleadings and prayers, this Court thought it fit to call for a report through the Registry; pursuant to which, a report bearing No.9448/2010 dated 30-07-2010 has been submitted by the Registrar of Subordinate Judiciary, also enclosing copies of the relevant proceedings as Annexure A to F. The learned counsel for the petitioner, who was permitted to peruse the report and the proceedings, submits that, he has gone through the said proceedings and has realised the sequence of events. 3. Going by the report submitted by the Registry, it is brought to the notice of this Court that the transfer of cases was necessitated because of the heavy work load and pendency of the cases in JFCM, Kattakada and that, the proceedings were pursued and finalised only after getting proper clearance from this Court on the administrative side. Besides the reference to the sequence of events, reliance is also sought to be placed on the power of this Court under Section 407 of Cr.P.C, to transfer the cases and that the transfer has been effected, pursuant to the clearance given by the learned Judge of this Court who is having administrative charge over the district in question. 4. Considering the facts and circumstances, this Court finds that no interference is warranted in the Writ Petition. The Writ Petition is closed accordingly. vdv P.R.RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE |
