IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Case No. : T. A. No. 272 of 2009 Date of Decision : December 21, 2009 Krishan Nanda @ Kishan Lal Nanda .... Petitioner Vs. Naresh Behal .... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL * * * Present : Mr. J. S. Saneta, Advocate for the petitioner. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : Defendant has filed this transfer petition under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure for transfer of civil suit instituted by respondent Naresh Behal against the petitioner, from the Court of learned Civil Judge, Gurdaspur to court of competent jurisdiction at Dasuya. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the case file. Distance between Gurdaspur and Dasuya is stated to be just 30 kilometers. Consequently, the defendant-petitioner would have no difficulty in defending the suit at Gurdaspur. Moreover, personal appearance of the defendant-petitioner in the trial court is not required on every date of hearing in the civil suit. Consequently, no ground for transferring the suit from Gurdaspur to Dasuya is made out. Dismissed. December 21, 2009 ( L. N. MITTAL ) monika JUDGE
