MEERA Vs. STATE O

JUDGEMENT

(1.) VINOD Prasad and Ajai Kumar Singh, JJ. Through the present writ petition the petitioners have prayed for stay of arrest in relation to case crime No. 292 of 20007, under sections 498a, 406 and 34 IPC, Police Station Sarita Vihar, district Delhi. The ancillary prayer is for transfer of investigation to the jurisdiction of respondent No. 2, who is Senior Superintendent of Police Meerut Region, Meerut.

(2.) FROM the perusal of the writ petition it is clear-that FIR of the aforesaid crime was registered as police station Sarita Vihar, Delhi. No prayer of quashing of FIR has been made in the instant writ petition. The only prayer is for stay of arrest.

(3.) LEARNED AGA on the other hand contended that this writ petition with a blanket prayer for stay of arrest is not maintainable and so far as transfer is concerned the petitioners can seek inter-state transfer by filing a transfer application before the Apex Court. He contended that this Court does not have any territorial jurisdiction to transfer the FIR registered at police station Sarita Vihar, Delhi as this Court does not have any territorial jurisdiction on the aforesaid police station.
