(ORAL) Petitioner-wife, through the instant petition under Section 24 CPC, seeks the transfer of her petition from the Court of Additional District Judge, Ferozepur, i.e. from one Judge to any other Judge of competent jurisdiction at Ferozepur, on the ground that the respondent-husband is a practicing Advocate and that the petitioner on account of some alleged conduct of his colleague advocates had filed a complaint to the Bar Council, as such, certain advocates, have got a grudge against the petitioner and that they had also reported the matter to the Additional District Judge, to whom the case had . . . 1 T.A.No.286 of 2009 been entrusted. The petitioner feels that the evidence of the petitioner has been closed by the Presiding Officer on account of above said circumstances. The above said ground does not seem to be sufficient enough to transfer the case from the Court of Additional District Judge, Ferozepur, before whom the case is pending but it has been informed that on 10.08.2009, the petitioner had made a request for transfer of her case and a reference had been made by the said Additional District Judge, to the District Judge, which was declined by the District Judge. In view of the said circumstances, the petitioner has got an apprehension that she might not get justice from the Court of Additional District Judge, Ferozepur, where the case is pending. At this stage, counsel for the respondent has put in appearance and made a statement at Bar that the respondent has got no objection in case the transfer application is allowed and the divorce petition filed by the respondent is transferred to any other Court of competent jurisdiction. Taking into consideration, the totality of all circumstances and no objection on behalf of the respondent, in the interest of justice, the divorce petition titled 'Ashok Kumar Monga Vs.Sushma Monga', pending in the Court of Mrs.H.K.Randhawa, Additional District Judge, Ferozepur, and now fixed for 24.08.2009, is transferred to the District Judge, Ferozepur. Parties are directed to appear before the District . . . 2 T.A.No.286 of 2009 Judge, Ferozepur, on 12.09.2009, for further proceedings. Counsel for the respondent informs that the High Court has given a direction for conclusion of the trial by 18.08.2009. Counsel for both the parties have consented that the period for conclusion of the case may be extended. It is ordered that the case be concluded by the end of October 2009, by giving a fair opportunity to both the parties to produce their evidence.
