THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE UJJAL BHUYAN
TRANSFER CRIMINAL PETITION No.42 OF 2021
ORDER:
Heard Mr. P. Pradeep Kumar Reddy, learned counsel for
the petitioner; Mr. S. Ganesh, learned Public Prosecutor for
respondent No.1 State of Telangana; and Mr. Suresh Babu,
learned counsel for respondent No.2.
2. This transfer petition has been filed for transfer of
C.C.No.345 of 2015 on the file of Prl. Judicial Magistrate of
First Class, Janagon, Warangal District to the Court of
Special Sessions Judge for the Trial of MPs/MLAs at
Nampally, Hyderabad in Sessions Case No.2 of 2020.
3. It is stated that on a complaint lodged by the second
respondent Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Janagon,
Warangal District had taken cognizance under Section 200 of
the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 against the petitioner for
offences under Sections 499, 500, 503 and 509 of Indian
Penal Code.
4. In the hearing today, learned counsel for respondent
No.2 has placed before the court a copy of judgment and
order dated 08.12.2021 passed by the learned Special
Sessions Judge for Trial of Criminal Cases relating to elected
MPs/MLAs of the State of Telangana, Hyderabad in Sessions
Case No.2 of 2020. From a perusal of the said judgment and
order, it is seen that learned court below had arrived at the
finding that the prosecution had failed to prove the guilt of
the accused for any of the charges framed against them.
Accordingly, the accused persons have been acquitted.
5. Since the prayer was to transfer C.C.No.345 of 2015 to
be tried with Sessions Case No. 2 of 2020, in view of acquittal
of the accused persons therein and disposal of Sessions Case
No.2 of 2020, question for transfer may not arise at this
stage.
6. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that steps
are being taken for preferring appeal against the judgment
and order dated 08.12.2021.
7. Be that as it may, in view of what we have discussed
above, no case for transfer is made out at this stage.
8. Accordingly, the transfer criminal petition is disposed
of. No costs.
9. Miscellaneous petitions if any, pending in this
arbitration application shall stand closed.
