The petitioner earlier filed Tr.Crl.M.P.No.16 of 2025 beforr: the learned Sessions Judge seeking transfer of the case, which was dismissed holding that no grounds were made out. Aggrieved thereby, the present petition is fiIed conte:rdingthat the learned Sessions Judge failed to consider the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitic,ner. In the trial Court, the learned counsel for the petitioner

3. submitted that the trial Court has been passing erroneous docket. orders and that the trial Court wrongly recorded proceedings as if zr memo was filed, though in fact a petition under Section 309 Cr'P'C. was filed; that the docket order dated L6.O7.2025 incorrectly recorded arguments as submil.ted on O5.O3.2O25 instead of 12.03.2025; and that such ()rrors resulted in recalling PW.l to fill gaps in the defenct:. He further submitted that the trial Court made contemptuous remarks against the petitioner attributing dishont:sgr and falsehood, thereby creating a reasonable appreh,--nsion of bias and prejudice, and seeks transfer of the CASC 3

4. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the respondent contended that cognizance was taken on 3O.09.2O15, copies were furnished on 31.01.2018, and pre- charge evidence was recorded on O8.O7.2019. The matter was repeatedly adjourned due to petitioner's failure to adduce evidence. Though a recall petition under Section 31 1 Cr.P.C. was allowed on O9.O2.2O23, the petitioner again delayed proceedings. Despite granting 13 adjournments, the petitioner failed to lead evidence, resulting in closure of the evidence of the complainant on 17.O5.2O24 and posting for examination under Section 313 Cr.P.C. The petitioner challenged the docket order dated I7.O5.2O24 before the Court, which was dismissed on 12.09.2024, and further challenged before this Court in Crl.P.No.200O of 2025, which is pending without any stay. In the absence of stay, the trial Court proceeded with 313 Cr.P.C. examination. The respondent submits that the petitioner has been filing repeated petitions only to delay the proceedings, and no grounds exist for transfer.

5. Heard both sides. 4

6. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the trial Court has been repeatedly committing mistakes while recording docket orders, and in every docket order errors are foun<I. He further submitted that the petitioner has lost faith in thr-' trial court and apprehends that the petitioner wilr not get a fair trial therein. Hence, he requested to transfer the case 1.o another Court.

7. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondents submitted that no illegality has been committed by thr: trial Court. The matter pertains to the year 2015, durin6; which several officers have presided over the Court and that the petitioner has been attempting to delay the proceedings on one pretext or another without cooperating with ttre trial Court. Though she filed the complaint, she has not be,-'n diligent in adducing her evidence, and only ,*,hen the matter was posted for her evidence did she appear, which itself re'flects her conduct. Therefore, the petition is devoid of merit a:ed liable to be dismissed.

8. Upon consideration of the submissions advanced by both learned counsel and on careful examination of the 5 record, this Court observes that the present Transfer Criminal Petition has been filed seeking transfer of c.c.No.gg9 0f 2015 from the court of the learned IV Additional chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Nampally, to any other Court on the ground that the trial Court is repeatedly committing errors and making adverse comments against the complainant. It is noted that the case, being a private complaint filed in 2O15, was taken cognizance of by the trial Court for certain offences. The matter was repeatedty posted for dismissal, and only after several adjournments did the petitioner adduce her evidence. Thereafter, no further evidence was filed in support of her case. At the stage of Section 31 1 Cr.P.C. examination, the petitioner fi|ed a petition under Section 309 Cr.P.C. seeking adjournment, which was recorded as a memo. Such recording, ho',vever, cannot be treated as a ground for transfer of the case and that the petitioner cannot make such bald allegations against the officers of the trial Court. The record clearly shows that the petitioner has been dragging the matter since 2015. In these circumstances, this Court finds no valid grounds to transfer C.C.No.899 of 2015 to any other Court. ( (

9. Accordingly, the Transfer Criminal Petition is dism issed. Miscellaneous applications, if any pending, shall stand closeC Sd/. S.
