SRI.C.P.RAVIKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: tss C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.23193 of 2010 ---------------------------------------- Dated 25th November, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner herein is the respondent in W.C.C.No.35 of 2009 on the file of the second respondent. Respondents 4 to 6 are the petitioners therein. This writ petition has been filed mainly with a prayer to issue a writ of mandamus commanding the first respondent to transfer W.C.C.No.35 of 2009 pending on the files of the second respondent to the third respondent. According to the petitioner, both the petitioner and the party respondents herein who are the parties in W.C.C.No.35 of 2009 are residing in Thodupuzha. The contention of the petitioner is that the second respondent is insisting the petitioner for settling the issue. Since the petitioner is not amenable to the same, the second respondent has dismissed the application submitted with the prayer to take up the matter in the camp sitting in Thodupuzha. 2. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as also the learned counsel appearing for respondents 4 to 6. 3. The petitioner as also the contesting respondents are residents of Thodupuzha and according to them it will be convenient for them if the matter is transferred from the files of the second respondent WP(C).No.23193/2010 2 to the third respondent. Since the parties to W.C.C.No.35 of 2009 have no difference of opinion with the said issue it will be in the interest of justice to transfer the application viz., W.C.C.No.35 of 2009 presently pending on the files of the second respondent to the third respondent. In the above circumstances, this writ petitions is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to transfer W.C.C.No.35 of 2009 pending on the files of the 2nd respondent to the 3rd respondent. This shall be done within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. W.C.C.No.35 of 2009 shall not be proceeded with till an order is passed by the first respondent.
