TA No.42 of 2011(O&M) [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH TA No.42 of 2011(O&M) Date of Decision: 06.12.2012 Satinder Pal Singh son of Late Shri Uggar Singh son of Shri Nidhan Singh son of Shri Waryam Singh, resident of Mansa Khurd, Tehsil and District Mansa. ... Petitioner Versus Prem Lata widow of Jatinder Pal son of Desh Raj and others. ... Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:Mr. JS Ghumman, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. SS Rangi, Advocate, for the respondents. ***** 1.Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? NO 2.To be referred to the reporters or not? NO 3.Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest? NO K. KANNAN, J. (Oral) 1. The petition for transfer is sought on the ground that the co-brother of the Presiding Officer is a sleeping partner with the defendant. The counsel appearing on behalf of the defendant states that the Presiding Officer himself has been transferred. The ground for transfer cannot, therefore, survive for consideration. The other objection taken is that the defendant is a President of the Bar Association and nobody is prepared to appear against him. It is a dangerous plea to advance such arguments that the counsel in Court who TA No.42 of 2011(O&M) [2] incidentally is a Bar President can cause threat to any counsel appearing against him. It is time that we have to remain away from such contention in Court. 2. The transfer application is dismissed. 6th December, 2012 ( K. KANNAN ) Rajan JUDGE
