In view of the averments made on behalf of the petitioner, and on a perusal of the records available, this Court is of the considered view that the petitioner has not shown sufficient cause or reason to grant the reliefs, as prayed for by the petitioner in the present transfer civil miscellaneous petition. The petitioner has not disputed the fact that the Principal District Court, Srivilliputhur, has the jurisdiction to hear I.D.O.P.No.14 of 2009. The reasons stated by the petitioner for the transfer of I.D.O.P.No.14 of 2009, from the file of the Principal District Court, Srivilliputhur, to the Principal District Court, Erode, cannot be accepted. Even though the respondent may be employed as the Principal of Fathima B.Ed. College and Vice Chairman of Sara Nursing College and Sara Teacher Training Institute at Manakadavu Village, Dharapuram Taluk, Tiruppur District, no proper reason has been shown by the petitioner to transfer I.D.O.P.No.14 of 2009, pending on the file of the Principal District Court, Srivilliputhur, to the Principal District Court, Erode. As such, the transfer civil miscellaneous petition filed by the petitioner is devoid of merits and hence, it stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
