NI Act

(Querist) 29 June 2010 This query is : Resolved 
Dear Sir

I have received two cheques in 2008 (1st cheque - Rs.30 lakhs & 2nd cheque - Rs.5 lakhs) agaist the supply of material. I was staying in visakhapatnam at that time. Both these cheques were deposited in the bank at visakhapatnam. These two cheques were bounced due to insufficient funds.In the mean time i shifted to Hyderabad. I could send the legal notice through the lawer at hyderabad. I wanted to file the cases at hyderabad court (since i was told that place of issue of notice also the one of the jurisdiction). But my lawer suggested not to take risk since the big amount is involved. So i filled the NI Act complaint for Rs.30 lakhs cheque at visakhapatnam & the second cheque i filed the case in hyderabad. The case in vizag is expected to come for hearing in August and still hyd court case will take lot of time for hearing.

Now i understand that the supreme court has issued the judgement to say that 'any number of cheques relating to the same transaction' shall be filed in one court and it cannot be filed in different courts.

Please advice me in this regard. Should i transfer the case to one court. If so pl suggest me whether i shall transfer the case from hyderabad case to vizag or vis a virsa? What is the procedure to transfer the case from one court to other?

Pl advice me.
