Gyanendra Singh v. State of U.P. and 5 Others
Case brief
What is this about?
TACR No. 33 of 2025; TRANSFER APPLICATION (CRIMINAL); High Court of Judicature at Allahabad; Sameer Jain, J.; decided November 3, 2025; transfer of criminal trial from District Kannauj to District Auraiya; Case No. 6100 of 2023; case crime No. 473 of 2022; Sections 147, 306, 406 IPC; P.S. Kotwali Kannauj; Chief Judicial Magistrate Kannauj; applicant Gyanendra Singh father-in-law of opposite party no. 4; alleged assault on 11.7.2022 and 19.12.2024; no medical report; no injury sustained; vague grounds; pandora's box; hardship to lady opposite party residing in Kannauj; application to S.P. dated 1.1.2025 at page 53; transfer application dismissed.
What did the court decide?
The grounds taken by the applicant for transfer prima facie appear vague: although he alleged that opposite party nos. 2 to 6 threatened/assaulted him on 11.7.2022 and 19.12.2024, he admittedly did not sustain any injury, and the Court finds merit in the learned AGA's argument that entertaining a transfer application on such vague grounds would open pandora's box.
