OTHER PRESENT: SRI VIPIN NARAYAN (SR PP) THIS TRANSFER PETITION (CRIMINAL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30.11.2023, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Tr.P.C. No.70/2023 -3-
ORDER
The petitioner filed M.C No.3/2023 under the provisions of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act,2005 before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-II, Kothamangalam. Certain interim orders have been passed in the said matter. The petitioner who was working at the Govt. Taluk Hospital, Pothanikkad on working arrangement has now been transferred to Thrissur District. Two daughters of the petitioner who are living with the petitioner are studying at St. Mary's School, Thrissur and both are stated to be Scoliosis patients undergoing treatment at an Ayurvedic Centre in Thrissur. This transfer petition has been filed seeking a transfer of M.C No.3/2023 pending before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-II, Kothamangalam to the competent Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Thrissur.
2. The learned counsel appearing for respondents 1 to 5 seeks time to
file a detailed counter affidavit in the matter. He states that certain allegations have been raised against respondents and therefore it is absolutely necessary to place a counter affidavit on record. However, I do not intend to go into any of the allegations raised against the respondents in this petition as I am only considering the request for transfer of the proceedings from Kothmangalam to Thrissur. In that view of the matter I do not intend to adjourn this petition to enable the counsel for respondents 1 to 5 to file counter affidavit. The Tr.P.C. No.70/2023 -4- circumstances of the petitioner are as noticed above. She is working in Government service and has been transferred to Thrissur. Two daughters born out of the relationship between the petitioner and the 1 st respondent are studying in an school at Thrissur. They are also stated to be Scoliosis patients undergoing treatment at an Ayurvedic Centre, Thrissur. This fact is not disputed by the learned counsel for respondents 1 to 5. Therefore I am inclined to direct that MC No.3/2023 now pending before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-II, Kothamangalam shall be transferred to competent Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Thrissur. The Chief Judicial Magistrate Court, Thrissur shall, on transfer of the proceedings allot M.C. No.3/2023 now pending before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-II, Kothamangalam, allot the case to a competent Judicial First Class Magistrate Court at Thrissur. Transfer petition is disposed of as above. The registry shall communicate a copy of this order to the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-II, Kothamangalam as also to the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court, Thrissur. Sd/- GOPINATH P.
