THE HON’BLE SMT. JUSTICE K. SUJANA TRANSFER CRIMINAL PETITION NO.116 OF 2025

ORDER:

This transfer criminal petition is filed by the petitioner/complainant seeking transfer of STC.NI.No.322 of 2021 from the file of VII Metropolitan Magistrate, Hayathnagar, Ranga Reddy District to any Metropolitan Magistrate, L.B.Nagar, Ranga Reddy.

2. Heard Sri G. Jonathan, learned counsel for petitioner, Sri Y. Hema Chander, learned counsel appearing for respondent No.1 and Sri D.Arun Kumar, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for respondent No.2-State.

3. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that petitioner initially filed a complaint under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act before the VII Metropolitan Magistrate at Hayathnagar in the year 2017 itself which was numbered as C.C.No.4428 of 2017. Even after several adjournments, the accused and his counsel were very irregular, as such NBW was issued and even thereafter, for more than two years no action has been taken. As such, the petitioner filed Crl.P.No.6529 of 2024 wherein this Court directed the trial Court to conclude trial as expeditiously as possible, even thereafter there is no development in the case. Hen
