1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.1042 OF 2010 WITH WRIT PETITION NO. 2261 OF 2000 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of | Coram, appearances, Court’s orders | Court’s or Judge’s or directions and Registrar’s | orders orders | ----------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM : A.M. KHANWILKAR, AND S.S. SHINDE, JJ. DATE : 17TH FEBRUARY, 2010 In view of order passed by the Acting Chief Justice issued under the signature of Registrar General dated 06-01-2010, both these petitions will have to be transferred to the High Court at Bombay since the Registrar, High Court, Appellate Side has been impleaded as party respondent and the relief claimed in these petitions would operate against the said party. The petitioner, who appears in person, submits that it will be virtually impossible for him to pursue the proceedings before the 2 Principal Bench at Mumbai. In his submission, it would be impossible for him to do so on account of his physical handicap due to old age as well as unable to incur legal expenses to effectively pursue his remedy. 2. Insofar as this difficulty is concerned, that can be redressed if the Court taking up the matter, were to appoint some Advocate of good standing as Amicus Curiae to espouse the cause of the petitioner. However, that is the matter which can be considered at appropriate stage. 3. Since the validity of order dated 06-01-2010 has not been challenged before us and the relief is only to exempt the petitioner from the application of the said order, in our opinion, such exemption cannot be granted considering the order passed by the Acting Chief Justice on 06-01-2010. 3 4. In the circumstances, office is directed to transfer both the petitions to Principal Bench at Mumbai forthwith. ( S.S. SHINDE, J. ) (A.M. KHANWILKAR,J.) sut/FEB10/wp1042.10
