Balachandran, J. ---------------------------- Tr.P.(C)No. 65 of 2007 ---------------------------- ORDER Petitioner is the plaintiff in O.S.No.309/01 on the file of the II Additional Sub Court, Thiruvananthapuram. He filed this petition for transfer of the said suit to the file of the Sub Court, Ernakulam. The reason stated for transfer is that it would be for the convenience of both parties. I fail to understand why and how convenience has changed now from that which existed in 2001. The suit was pending before the Sub Court, Tiruvananthapuram right from 2001 onwards. The purpose of transfer, as I can guess, is only to avoid a speedy disposal of the case. There is no merit in the transfer requested for. In the circumstances, this transfer petition is dismissed. 16th March, 2007 (K.P.Balachandran, Judge) tkv
