T.A. No.450 of 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH **** T.A. No. 450 of 2009 Date of Decision:16.09.2010 Asha Puri .....Applicant Vs. Director Public Instructions (Secondary), Punjab, Chandigarh and others .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present:- Mr. H.S. Saggu, Advocate for the applicant. Mr. Yatinder Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. **** Prayer in the application is for transfer of the civil suit titled as `Asha Puri v. Director of Public Instruction and others', filed by the applicant claiming disability/ pension in the Court at Khanna to Civil Court at Mansa on account of the fact that she is suffering from schizophrenia. It was submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that earlier the civil suit was filed at Mansa where she is residing with her husband. However, on objection raised by the respondent, the same was withdrawn and filed at Khanna, where she was last posted. The applicant is mentally sick and she is being taken care of by her husband. Her husband is pursuing her case, as she cannot be left alone in the house due to mental illness. Considering the peculiar facts of the case where it is difficult for the husband to attend hearings of the case at Khanna which is about 200 kilometer from Mansa, the prayer is for transfer of the T.A. No.450 of 2009 -2- suit from Khanna to Mansa. Learned counsel for the State fairly submitted that considering the health of the applicant, he does not have any objection in case the suit is transferred from Khanna to Mansa. Accordingly, in view of the fair stand of learned counsel for the parties, it is directed that the civil suit filed by the applicant titled as `Asha Puri v. Director of Public Instruction and others' pending in the Court of learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), Khanna be transferred to Civil Judge (Senior Division), Mansa. The parties are directed to appear before the transferee court on 4.10.2010. Learned Civil Judge (Senior Division), Mansa may keep the civil suit with himself or entrust the same to any other competent court. Application is disposed of.
