IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2437 of 2010 NARENDRA KUMAR SINGH @ BHUNESHWAR SINGH & ANR. Versus KUSUM DEVI & ORS. ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr.Bindhey Keshri Singh, Sr. Advocate For the O.P.No.17: Mr.Nandan Singh, Advocate Mr.Kumar Sunil, Advocate For the O.P.2 : Mr.Subhash Kumar Tiwary, Advocate Mr.Anurag Saurab, Advocate 3 31.8.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioners and counsel appearing on behalf of the Opposite parties. The petitioners invoked the jurisdiction of this court under section 24 of C.P.C. for transfer of Title Suit No.75/84 pending in the court of Shri H.N. Pandey, Sub-Judge IV, Kaimur, Bhabua to some other courts. The petitioners have earlier filed Misc.Case No.14 of 2010 before the District Judge, Kaimur at Bhabua which was vacant. It is stated that the Incharge District Judge, Kaimur, Bhabua was hesitant to entertain the transfer application and as such the petitioners moved this court in the instant application for transfer of the case from the court of Shri H.N. Pandey, Sub- Judge IV, Kaimur, Bhabua to some other courts. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of Opposite party no.17 stating therein that the suit is of the year 1984 and there is no plausible reason for transferring it to some other court. It has been further stated that the regular District Judge has been notified and in fact he has assumed charge who may be directed to dispose of the petition expeditiously. 2 KHAN As now there is full fledged District & Sessions Judge for the Kaimur Judgeship, this court directs that he would dispose of the Misc. Case No.14 of 2010 expeditiously preferably within four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It would be open for the petitioners to make a prayer for any interim relief before the court below. It is made clear that this court has not expressed any opinion on the merit of the case. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this application stands disposed of. Let this order be communicated to the District & Sessions Judge, Kaimur at Bhabua at the cost of the petitioners.
