The only reason for transfer urged is that the counsel for the petitioner was the senior of the Presiding Officer when he was practising as a lawyer. 3. The Presiding Officer has not expressed any embarrassment in the disposal of the case by him. The respondents do not have a grievance that justice will not be done on account of this circumstance. I am, in these circumstances, certainly satisfied that the prayer of the petitioner cannot be favourably considered. 4. This petition for transfer is accordingly dismissed. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) rtr/- 2
