T.A. No. 153 of 2009 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. T.A. No. 153 of 2009 Date of Decision: September 16, 2009 Sharanjit Kaur …..Petitioner Vs. Jagmohan Singh and another …..Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr.Vikram Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.D.K. Bhatti, Advocate for respondent No.1. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) This order will dispose of an application under Section 24 CPC for transfer of civil suit Jagmohan Singh Vs. Sharanjit Kaur for possession by way of specific performance from Civil Judge (Senior Division), Phillaur, to any other court of competent jurisdiction in District Ludhiana or any other district on the ground that there is no legal aid available to the T.A. No. 153 of 2009 [2] petitioner in the District of Jalandhar. Detailed reasons have been given in the transfer application. Counsel for respondent No.1 has opposed the application for transfer contending that the plaintiff- respondent No.1 is not at fault if the petitioner has got any dispute with the members of the Bar. It has also been argued that this transfer application has been filed merely to prejudice the rights of the plaintiff- respondent No.1 and to delay the proceedings. The civil suit was filed in the year 2006. I have heard counsel for the parties and gone through the facts and circumstances of this case. From the document annexure P-3, a resolution passed by the Bar Association, Phillaur, it is apparent that there is a conflict between the members of the Bar and the petitioner at Phillaur. In order to give a fair opportunity to the petitioner to contest the suit filed by the respondent, it will be expedient in the interest of justice if the suit filed by the plaintiff- respondent is transferred from Phillaur to some nearest station so that no inconvenience is caused to the plaintiff- respondent No.1 also. Counsel for the petitioner has requested that on earlier occasion two criminal matters pertaining to the petitioner had been transferred from Phillaur to Chandigarh as such the civil suit of the respondent be also transferred to Chandigarh. While deciding transfer application, convenience of both the parties are required to be taken into consideration. Following the said principle, I am of the opinion that it will be expedient in the interest of T.A. No. 153 of 2009 [3] justice if the suit- Jagmohan Singh Vs. Sharanjit Kaur pending in the Court of Civil Judge (Senior Division), Phillaur, is transferred to the Court of Civil Judge (Senior Division), Nawanshehar. Nawanshehar is approximately 25 kms. away from Phillaur. It will be convenient for both the parties to contest their claims by traveling a short distance to Nawanshehar. The case file, complete in all respects, will be sent to Civil Judge (Senior Division), Nawanhshehar. Parties are directed to appear before the transferee Court on October 14, 2009. As both the parties are interested in expeditious disposal of the case, a direction is issued that the transferee Court will decide the suit within a period of one year after the receipt of the file.
