TA No. 237 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH TA No.237 of 2008 Decided on : 24-02-2009 Smt. Satnam Kaur ....Applicant VERSUS Sarup Singh ....Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present:- Ms. Savita Saxena, Advocate for the applicant None for the respondent MAHESH GROVER, J This is a petition under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure praying for transfer of suit titled as 'ASI Saroop Singh versus Satnam Kaur and others' pending in the Court of Sh. Shatin Goyal, Civil Judge (Jr. Divn.) Rajpura to a Court of competent jurisdiction at Ludhiana. It is the contention of the learned counsel for the applicant that the proceedings initiated against the applicant are result of a matrimonial discord and she is facing threat to her life as she was beaten up in the Court premises. She being a lady finds it extremely difficult to travel to Rajpura especially when her life is under threat. Although reply has been filed to the present application but no one is present on behalf of the respondent despite the fact that the case has been called out twice. The application is, therefore, taken up for arguments. In view of the contentions of the learned counsel for the applicant which have gone uncontroverted and also keeping in view the TA No. 237 of 2008 2 observations of Hon'ble Apex Court in case titled as 'Sumita Singh versus Kumar Sanjay and another' AIR 2002 SC 396, I am of the considered opinion that the present application deserves to succeed. Accordingly, the proceedings in the suit titled as 'ASI Saroop Singh versus Satnam Kaur and others' pending in the Court of Sh. Shatin Goyal, Civil Judge (Jr. Divn.) Rajpura are transferred to a Court of competent jurisdiction at Ludhiana. The Court at Ludhiana shall issue notice to the parties for appearance after receipt of the case on transfer February 24, 2009 (Mahesh Grover) rekha Judge
