This application has been filed under Section 447 of the BNSS, 2023 praying for transfer of the proceedings of GR Case No. 152/2023 from the Court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, East Kameng, Arunachal Pradesh to the court of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lakhimpur at North Lakhimpur, Assam. The primary ground taken by the petitioner is that he is a cancer patient and it is difficult for him to travel to Seppa to contest the case. It has also been submitted till now the petitioner has been contesting the case through video conferencing but the learned trial court has insisted upon personal appearance of the petitioner. I have considered the submission made by the learned counsel for both the sides. Considering entire aspect of the matter, this court is of the opinion that the petitioner should be given the opportunity to contest his case through video conferencing. Accordingly, it is hereby directed that, until further order of this court, the petitioner shall continue to contest the case though video conferencing. Further, it is also directed that after completion of examination of the witnesses, the petitioner shall be examined under Section 313 CrPC through video conferencing only and by showing special reasons by the trial court, if necessary, the petitioner shall appear before the trial court personally. However, at the time of delivery of the judgment, the petitioner shall be personally present in the court. Page No.# 3/3 The petitioner has also submitted that he has threats to his life at Seppa. For that matter, the Police authority of Seppa, Arunachal Pradesh shall provide adequate security to the petitioner, as and when the petitioner prays for.
