Case brief
What is this about?
S.407 CrPC transfer of criminal case; dismissal for non-prosecution; non-compliance of office objections; peremptory order as last chance dated 11.11.2024; C.C.No.63/2013 Principal Civil Judge and JMFC Puttur D.K.; C.C.No.3587/2017 Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Bengaluru; Karnataka High Court CRL.P No. 1582 of 2024; V Srishananda, J.; order dated 20.01.2025.
What did the court decide?
The petition (styled 'appeal' in the operative paragraph) stands dismissed for non-prosecution because office objections were not complied with even after a lapse of two months, despite the peremptory order dated 11.11.2024 granting a week's time as a last chance; the transfer prayer under S.407 Cr.PC was not adjudicated on merits. ¶21
