1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. WRIT PETITION NO. 30 OF 2008 (Pavanlal Nandlalji Agrawal and another .v. Municipal Corporation, Akola) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's Orders and Registrar's orders. Shri B.N. Mohta, Advocate for the petitioners. CORAM : B.R. GAVAI, J. 4TH FEBRUARY, 2008. Heard the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners. By way of present petition, the petitioners challenge the order dated 11th December, 2007 passed by the learned Principal District Judge, Akola, thereby rejecting the application of the present petitioners for withdrawal of the case from the file of 5th Joint Civil Judge, Junior Division, Akola to some other Presiding Officer. Shri B.N. Mohta, the learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that the learned Principal District Judge ought to have transferred the proceedings from the present Presiding Officer to some other learned Judge as the petitioners had an apprehension that they would not get fair trial from the present Presiding Officer. 2 The perusal of the order impugned would reveal that the learned Principal District Judge has found that the apprehension in the mind of the petitioners was ill founded. It has been found that from the record it did not appear that there was any material on record which would show that a person of reasonable thinking can come to a conclusion that the learned Presiding Officer was biased. In that view of the matter, no interference is warranted in the extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Hence, the writ petition is rejected.
