Petition to transfer case rejected for lack of legal basis; original court retains jurisdiction.

The High Court of Cassation and Justice (Section I Civil) rejected the request by the petitioner (the mayor of a commune) to transfer the case in Docket No. 3485/339/2012 pending before the Zimnicea District Court; the decision is final and without appeal. The petition sought the transfer of the case to another court on grounds of suspected bias or other reasons, but the Prosecutor's Office representative opposed it. The court, after examining the request in closed session, found no valid legal basis for the transfer, thereby denying the motion and leaving the original case to proceed in the original court.
