Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ordered the transfer of Criminal Complaint No. 68 of 1994 from the Chief Judicial Magistrate, U.T. Chandigarh, to the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Mumbai, emphasizing the convenience of the petitioner, who resides in Mumbai. The Court noted that the first respondent's inconvenience in traveling from Chandigarh to Mumbai was not sufficient to deny the transfer, especially considering the gender dynamics and the absence of special reasons against the transfer. The decision is made under the principles of convenience and fairness in legal proceedings.
