SRI.T.G.RAJENDRAN for R1 & R2 THIS TRANSFER PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 10/08/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: M.N.KRISHNAN, J. ----------------------------- Tr.P.C.No. 130 OF 2007 ----------------------------- Dated this the 10th August, 2007 JUDGMENT This transfer petition is filed with a prayer to transfer O.S.169/06 to any of the Sub Courts other than in Alappuzha centre for further proceedings. At the outset I may like to state these type of apprehensions raised without factual backing are quite unfortunate and it really puts an inroad into the credibility of the system. The ground alleged for transfer is that the second defendant in the suit is a practising Lawyer at Alappuzha. Under ordinary circumstances I would have dismissed the application but by filing of transfer applications the petitioner has created an apprehension in the mind of the judicial officer and therefore, in order to avoid further complications I am inclined to effect a transfer. Therefore O.S.169/06 pending before the Principal Subordinate Judge, Alappuzha is transferred to the Subordinate Judge's Court at Cherthala. M.N.KRISHNAN Judge jj
