Messrs Ayyannar Agencies & Another

(Supreme Court Of India)
HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K.T. THOMAS HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.B.
SHAH
Transfer Petn. (Cri) No.265 of 1999 | 10-01-2000

We have noticed that 5 complaints have been filed by the respondents under
Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act before the Metropoliten
Magistrate Court, Chennai. Thereafter one complaint was filed before the
Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad against the petitioners in respect of 2
cheques, that too for the same offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable
Instruments Act. This petition is for transferring that case to Metropolitan
Magistrate, Chennai as parties in all the cases are the same and the offence is of
the same nature though sprouted from different cheques. It would be
advantageous to all the parties to have all the said cases before the the same
Court, contended the learned counsel

We also feel that the transfer prayed for could only be in the interest of justice
and also for the convenience of conducting the trial and disposal of all the cases.
We, therefore, order transfer of C.C. No. 808 of 1998 titled as M/s. Sri Vishnu
Cement v. M/s. Sri Ayyannar Agencies pending before the IVth Metropolitan
Magistrate, City Criminal Court, Nampally, Hyderabad to XVIIth Metropolitan
Magistrate, Saidaped, Chennai

Transfer Petition is disposed of accordingly.
