IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH T.A. No. 98 of 2009 Date of Decision : 18.03.2009 Shrimati Pawan Toor ....Petitioner Versus Shri Ranbir Kaushal ...Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr. D.S.Brar, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. This is a petition under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure praying for transfer of proceedings of appeal titled as Shrimati Pawan Toor v. Shri Ranbir Kaushal Advocate. The only ground which has been agitated before this Court for transfer of the appeal is that the petitioner is residing at Bombay and her attorney is residing at Chandigarh who is prosecuting the appeal which is pending for 18.3.2009. It is further contended that the respondent in the appeal and the witnesses, who were involved in the case, are advocates practising at Amritsar which has given rise to the apprehension that the appeal may not be decided fairly. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that the present petition deserves to be rejected. The inconvenience which has been expressed before this Court and if accepted to be correct was more pronounced when the trial was going T.A. No. 98 of 2009 -2- on and if the petitioner bore the inconvenience at that time when the evidence etc. was to be recorded, then there is no reason why the appeal cannot be prosecuted and the same cannot be decided fairly . For the aforesaid reason and also for the reason that the apprehension in the mind of the petitioner is based on frivolous, flimsy and unsustainable ground, as it is not expected that the Court would be influenced merely because the respondent and his witnesses happened to be lawyers practising at Amritsar, hence this Court does not agree with the petition. No ground. Dismissed. 18.3.2009 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
