THESE CRIMINAL PETITIONS COMING ON FOR ORDERS THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING:-
48
O R D E R
In all these petitions, the respective respondents have filed private complaints against the petitioners herein alleging commission of offences punishable under sections 109, 153,
499, 500, 501 and 502 of Indian Penal Code.
2. The complaints were filed in respect of the incident that is alleged to have taken place on 2.3.2012 at City Civil
Court, Bengaluru, when a former Minister in the Cabinet of
Karnataka Assembly was scheduled to be produced before the
City Civil Court Complex. The said incident was telecasted by the accused persons depicting the advocates in bad light. Hence, the advocates of different Bar Associations throughout Karnataka filed complaints against the TV Channels and newspaper personnel seeking action under sections 109, 153, 499, 500, 501 and 502 of Indian Penal Code.
3. The accused persons sought transfer of all these complaints to any one of the Courts in Bengaluru, under section
407 of Cr.P.C., mainly on the ground that Advocates at different 49 parts of the State had passed resolutions not to represent any of the petitioners/accused persons in the aforesaid proceedings.
4. In a batch of such petitions, in Criminal Petition
No.6264/2013 c/w. Criminal Petition No.6107/2012 dated
25.06.2014, after hearing both the parties, this Court dismissed the petitions filed by the petitioners under Section 407
Cr.P.C. The said order was challenged before the Hon’ble
Supreme Court of India in Transfer Petition (Crl.) No.284/2012 c/w. Transfer Petition (Crl.) Nos.285/2012, 289/2012, 291/2012,
292/2012, 297/2012, 202/2012, 228/2012, 229/2012,
230/2012, 400/2012, 401/2012, 402/2012, 403/2012,
415/2012, 417/2012, 239/2013, 241/2013, 246/2013,
247/2013, 248/2013, 249/2013 and S.L.P. (Crl.) No.683/2015 and the Hon’ble Supreme Court dismissed the petitions vide order dated 30.04.2015 with the following observations:
“3. However, we hope and trust that the parties to this lis will sit together and make all efforts to settle small and petty differences that arose between them. We hope and presume that better sense would prevail on all 50
the parties not to perpetuate the small differences hereafter.
4. If, for any reason, any one of the parties file an appropriate petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 before the High Court for appropriate relief(s), the High Court would consider the same sympathetically.”
5. Following the above orders, the petitions are dismissed.
