TA No.625 of 2011(O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH TA No.625 of 2011(O&M) Date of decision: 15.11.2011 Harvinder Singh Bhasin through his attorney Gurpreet Singh Bhasin ...Applicant Versus Gurbax Singh Bhasin ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr.Ashish Verma, Advocate for the applicant **** Jitendra Chauhan, J. (Oral) The present application under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure has been filed by the applicant, seeking transfer of the Civil Appeal No.71/28.11.2009 RT 15/04.04.2011 titled as 'Gurbax Singh vs. Harvinder Singh and others', filed by the respondents from the court of Sh.D.S.Johal, Additional District Judge, Bathinda to any other court of competent jurisdiction at Bathinda. I have heard learned counsel for the applicant and perused the case file. The learned counsel states that his client has apprehension that he might not get justice from the court concerned. Apprehension howsoever strong cannot be a ground for transfer of the proceedings from one court to another, unless the same is not backed by such an conduct of the presiding officer, which suggests some bias on his part. From the perusal of the case file, it emerges that the applicant has filed a similar application before the learned District Judge, Bathinda, TA No.625 of 2011(O&M) 2 which was dismissed on 7.11.2011 by observing as under:- “The allegations levelled by all the applicants in both the applications are vague and without any substance. It is not believable that a party will proclaim in the open market that they will get their work done from the Presiding Officer. Consequently, no ground is made out for transferring the case from the Court of Sh.D.S.Johal, learned Additional District Judge, Bathinda and both the applications are hereby dismissed. File be consigned to the record room.” In view of the above, no ground is made out to transfer the Civil Appeal No.71/28.11.2009 RT 15/04.04.2011 titled as 'Gurbax Singh vs. Harvinder Singh and others', from the Court of Sh.D.S.Johal, learned Additional District Judge, Bathinda to any other court. Dismissed. 15.11.2011 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) gsv JUDGE
