IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Transfer Application No. 367 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 6.10.2010 Dayal Singh .. Applicant v. Avtar Singh ... Respondent. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. J. S. Bains, Advocate for the applicant. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Prayer in the application is for transfer of the appeal pending before Mr. S. K. Garg, Additional District Judge, Mohali to some other court. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that daughter of the applicant had filed a complaint to Hon'ble the Chief Justice against the officer before whom the appeal was pending, as some one had approached the applicant for giving bribe to the Judge. It was further submitted that even the statement of the daughter of the applicant had also been recorded by the District Judge (Vigilance). Considering the allegations against the Presiding Officer, the applicant apprehends that he will not get justice from that court. The appeal accordingly be transferred to some other court. After hearing learned counsel for the applicant, I do not find any merit in the submissions made. The status of the complaint filed by the daughter of the applicant was enquired from the office and it was found that after preliminary enquiry, no substance was found in the allegations made in the complaint and it was proposed to be filed. It was approved by Hon'ble the Chief Justice on 21.7.2010. As the allegations, on the basis of which the applicant apprehended injustice by the concerned officer, were not found to be true, I do not find any reason to transfer the case from that court to any other court. In case, a plea for transfer is accepted on these grounds, this will give handle to unscrupulous litigants to delay the proceedings in a case by filing false complaints. Accordingly, the present application is dismissed. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 6.10.2010 mk
