stated above. It appears that the respondent no.1 is
the resident of Akurdi, Pune, which is her parental
place, therefore she has filed a private complaint
bearing RCC No. 694 of 2006 in the Court of the JMFC,
Pimpari-Chinchwad making the same allegations as were
made in a criminal case filed at Jat bearing RCC No.
157 of 2005. Therefore, the petitioner has approached
to this Court with a prayer that either to quash one of
those two proceedings or amalgmate the proceedings and
try them together. In short, in respect of the same
offence committed on the same date and time two criminal
proceedings have been initiated by the respondent no.1,
namely, RCC No. 157 of 2005 at Jat and another by way
of a private complaint at Pimpari-Chinchwad. Therefore,
one case is pending before the JMFC, Jat and the other
case is pending before the JMFC, Pimpari-Chinchwad.
Under these circumstances we find it appropriate to
amalgamate the cases together and to try them together.
Admittedly, the alleged offence has taken place at Jat.
Therefore, the Court at Jat is having the territorial
jurisdiction in the matter. Even the witnesses are from
that area. Therefore we find it appropriate to transfer
RCC No. 694 of 2006 from the file of the JMFC, Pimpari
- Chinchwad to the file of JMFC, Jat, so that it can be
tried along with RCC No. 157 of 2005.
