None for the respondent. -.- JITENDRA CHAUHAN, J. The applicant seeks transfer/clubing of two suits i.e. Civil Suit No. RT-415 of 2004 and Civil Suit No.258 of 2006 pending at Moga and Nakodar, respectively, to the one and same court of competent jurisdiction at Jalandhar. I have heard the learned counsel for the applicant. From a perusal of the case file, it emerges that the both the parties filed suits against each other, claiming the inheritance of deceased Sh.Teja Singh, father of the present applicant and husband of the respondent. Civil Suit No. RT-415 of 10.9.2004 filed by the applicant is pending at Moga, whereas the other suit i.e. Civil Suit No.258 of 2006 is pending at Nakodar, District Jalandhar. It is further made out that both the parties are residents of District Jalandhar. The Courts at Moga or Nakodar have the territorial jurisdiction to try the cases. In the fact situation, this Court feels that as the parties are the residents of District Jalandhar, therefore, it would be appropriate if the suit TA NO.495 of 2011 2 pending at Moga is transferred to the court of competent jurisdiction at Nakodar, District Jalandhar in order to avoid the conflict of judicial opinion. In view of the above, the present application is allowed. The Civil Suit No. RT-415 of 10.9.2004 titled as `Balkar Singh Vs.Harbhajan Kaur and others' is withdrawn from the Court of learned Additional Civil Judge, (Senior Division), Moga and is transferred to the court of competent jurisdiction at Nakodar, District Jalandhar. File of the suit in question shall be sent by the trial Court at Moga to learned District Judge, Jalandhar, within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order. The learned District Judge, Jalandhar will entrust the same to the court of competent jurisdiction at Nakodar. The Courts at Nakodar will decide both the suits simultaneously. The parties are directed to appear before the District Judge at Jalandhar on 21.11.2011. 20.10.2011 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) Mks JUDGE
