no application shall lie to the High Court for transferring a
case from one Criminal Court to another Criminal Court in the same sessions
division, unless an application for such transfer has been made to the Sessions
Judge and rejected by him.
you ve not cleared that there are same sessions division or differnt... if you seek transfer the case from a sessions division to different sessions division then no doubt the transfer petition lies in High Court.

Whether a case can be tranferred to a court where no cause of action has arisen?

Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 10 March 2010
No. Such case cannot be transferred because FIR has been lodged in the police station wherein cause of action arisen till the date of filing such FIR and even investigation would have been completed and charge-seeht would have been filed in the court wherein such PS falls and now just to facilitate the complainant, such criminal case cannot be transferred. If it is a State case then the complainant (wife) is not required to attend day to day hearing and she is expected to come only on the day of her evidence so there is no scope of such transfer.

This is no Gujarat Riots case which was got transferred by Apex Court even in Maharashtra from Gujarat.
