Criminal complaint filed but court vacant

A criminal Complaint is filed before the Competent Court under CrPC 190. Because the Court is lying vacant the same is sent to the linked Court which orders the examination of the complainant on oath under Section 200. However the process could not move further since the link court says that it does not have powers to examine the complainant and only a regular court can do so. What should the complainant do to make his complaint / case move further?

Hi Ashok,

Normally, incharge court will be there and they will record the statement of the complainant and issue summons to the accused.

Otherwise, approach chief judicial megistrate and file the complaint and that court either will record the statement, or transfer the complaint, to any other court if it finds urgrncy.

you have to file memo or an appication for transfer of your complaint already filed , before the chief judicial megistrate, on the ground that , the court is vacant and the matter is very urgent

Now Common Srishailaji

Section 407. deals with the Power of High Court to transfer cases and appeals:-

How can any one make an application to the magistarte requesting him to register a complaint against the accused under this section

SRISHAILA.DHARANI (Advocate&consultant)     09 February 2013

Yes , you are correct, it has to be fled in the high court, under secion 407, for transfer of the criminal case from one court to another court .

I have gone through the criminal rules of practice  and i didnt find any inherent provision like section 151 cpc, in that, so that we can make an application asking for relief. 

Thats why i have mentioned under section 407.But along with  this , i should have mentioned that, it has to be filed  in  the high court, sorry for in convenience

Dear Mr. Ashok 

You should filed a transfer petition before the court of session u/s 408 of Crpc

 

408. Power of Sessions Judge to transfer cases and appeals.

 

(1) Whenever it is made to appear to a Sessions Judge that an order under this sub-section is expedient for the ends of justice, he may order that any particular case be transferred from one Criminal Court to another Criminal Court in his session's division.

 

(2) The Sessions Judge may act either on the report of the lower court, or on the application of a party interested or on his own initiative.

 

(3) The provisions of sub-sections (3), 4), (5), (6), (7) and (9) of section 407 shall apply in relation to an application to the Sessions Judge for an order under sub-section (1) as they apply in relation to an application to the High Court for an order under subsection (1) of section 407, except that sub-section (7) of that section shall so apply as if for the words "one thousand" rupees occurring therein, the words "two hundred and fifty rupees" were substituted.

 at the time of  filling this petition you should asked concerened office that the Session Judge has delegate his power to CJM or not?

if the session court has delegate the power to CJM then filed this transfer petition before CJM.

It is a practice rule and not mention in Statute as the Protest petition is not mention anywhere in statute but this application is a pratice against final Report of Police.

 

Feel Free to Call
