SILAPARASETTI SRINIVASA RAO vs KARRI SANKARA RAO — T.P.(Crl.) No. 157/2012

Case Summary: T.P.(Crl.) No. 157/2012 Outcome: The Supreme Court granted the transfer petition and transferred Criminal Case No. 103/TR No. 1667 of 2010 from the Judicial First Class Magistrate at Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar Islands to the First Additional Metropolitan Magistrate at Visakhapatnam. The Court found that two cases arising from the same transaction had been deliberately filed in different jurisdictions—one criminal complaint (under Negotiable Instruments Act) in Visakhapatnam and the second case in Port Blair—and consolidating them before a single court was necessary to avoid conflicting judgments.
