This Court, carefully heard the rival submissions made by either side and also perused the impugned order. 5. No doubt, the accused in both complaints is one and the same person, whereas in each case, the complainant is a different person. Both cheques concerned in the private complaints have been drawn by the first accused on its Bank account viz., Andra Bank, Cantonment Branch, Tiruchirapalli. 6. Though it is the vehement submission of the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner that the defence to be projected by him in both cases is one and the same, however, this Court is not in a position to express any opinion in this regard, as it is a matter for evidence and trial. It is brought to the knowledge of this Court that the Counsel appearing for the complainant in both cases is one and the same person. It is also the vehement submission of the learned Counsel appearing for the respondents that the joint trial of the cases cannot be ordered, for the reason that the transaction pertains to two complaints are entirely different and so also the complainant. This Court finds some force in the said contentions put forth on behalf of the respondents. 7. However, taking into consideration the fact that both cases are pending at Tiruchirapalli and taking into consideration the convenience of both parties, this Court is of the view that the case in S.T.C.No.384 of 2013, pending on the file of the Court of the Judicial Magistrate No.IV, Tiruchirapalli is to be transferred to the file of the Court of the Judicial Magistrate No.II, Tiruchirapalli. 8. In the result, this Criminal Revision Case is partly allowed and the impugned order dated 19.09.2014 made in Transfer C.M.P.No.1490 of 2014 is set aside and the case in S.T.C.No.384 of 2013 pending on the file of the Court of Judicial Magistrate No.IV, Tiruchirapalli is transferred to the file of the Court of Judicial Magistrate No.II, Tiruchirapalli and both the parties are directed to extend their maximum cooperation to the said Court for expeditious disposal of both complaints.
