SIRS,
TWO PERSONS STOOD AS SURETY FOR AN ACCSUED, PRODUCING THEIR LAND TAXPAID RECEIPT , ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY CONCERNED VILLAGE OFFICER.
BUT ON VERIFICATION, MAGISTRATE CAME TO KNOW THAT SURETIES ARE FAKE....THEY HAVE NO LANDED PROPERTIES....TAX PAID RECEIPT
IS A FORGED DOCUMENT.SO, MAGISTRATE TOOK CAse u/s 463 471 475 ipc by handing over acomplaint to police u/s 190 crpc.
now the same court is trying the matter and magistrate himself was examined as pw1
......fortunately he was transfered by that time ! is it an illegality ?
what is 340 crpc and 195 crpc ?
non--transfering of case to another court will vitiate the trail?
any citations ?

the illegality was earlier, a magistrate can not be a witness and a judge at the same time of the same case.

Same court is irregular. The magistrate must transfer the case to another court. You can approach the HC for relief.
