This petition has been filed for the transfer of the entire trial in Spl.S.C.No.115 of 2022 pending from the file of the learned Special Court for Exclusive trial under POSCSO Act at Cuddalore and transfer the same to any other Mahila Court.

3. It is seen that, since the matter is pending for evidence of the Investigating Officer, at this stage, the transfer of trial would not serve any purpose. Further, the petitioners have also not made out a case in Spl.S.C.No.115 of 2022.
