This query is : Resolved
Recently,a principal session Judge in Mumbai passed a order in the matter of transfer application in a criminal case.The said order was not dictated in open court as required by law but the said order was also pronounced by the Shirestedar of the said court during the absence of the said principal session judge.
In the light of the above,we would like to know as to whether the said order is valid one? If not,what are the remedies available under the circumstances to get the said order declared as invalid.
Any comments/guidance with the support of case laws,if any,would be highly appreciated.

3.KINDLY NOTE THAT PLACE OF OFFENCE IS IMPORTANT TO DECIDE THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURT.BUT IN CASE ANY OTHER GROUNDS SUCH AS SAFETY OF APPLICANT AND RISK TO THE LIFE OF APPLICANT AND CONVENIENCE OF BOTH THE PARTIES IS CONCERNED THE COURT MAY DECIDE THE MATTER ACCORDINGLY.

My Ld Advocate friend has not understood the question.
Please reread the question and law point involves whether the such Order is valid if the same was not dictated in open court as required by law and the same was also prnounced by Shirestedar of the said court during the absence of the said principal session judge.
In the eyes of law the said order is invalid one.
Now what is the remedy and we are in search of case law to take the said matter to High Court.
