Respected Sirs,
Does Principal Sessions Court has authority to transfer a criminal (498A + 307) case under CrPC 408 to any of other sessions court in same premises ?
Complainent's ground for the transfer petition : On one date, in Open court sessions court judge was pleased to express views against the case of prosecution case and further has expressed its adverse opinion regarding the case of the coplainnant without concluding trial and evide and dispose of the case as early as possible.
Background After 3 years of submitting the chargesheet 4th Sessions Court framed charges and issued summons to Complaint and to delay the matter complainant filed this transfer application in Principal Sessions Court.
My local advocate is telling me that Principal DJ 1) doesn’t have authority to hear this case 2) Court will be with same cadre + just admin authorities but he will not have authority to Stay the matter and transfer to another court in his premises.
