CIVIL WRIT No. 1245 of 1996 HARI KISHAN V/S S.D.O./L.A.O. & ORS 3. CIVIL WRIT No. 915 of 1995 HARI KISHAN V/S STATE & ORS Mr. LR MEHTA, for the appellant / petitioner Mr. RISHABH for Mr. VK MATHUR and Mr. BL BHATI, DY.G.A., for the respondent Date of Order : 5.11.2007 HON'BLE SHRI N P GUPTA,J. ORDER ----- These matters relate to acquisition of land in Beawar Tehsil which falls within the territorial jurisdiction of the Bench of this Court at Jaipur. These writ petitions were filed way back in the year 1995 at which time the things were not clear, and even the matters arising from territorial jurisdiction falling within the cognizance of the Bench were being entertained at the Principal Seat. However, now Hon'ble the Supreme Court in 2 Rajasthan High Court Vs. Union of India reported in RLW 2001(1) SC-73 has held that the Bench or the Seat as the case may be shall have the jurisdiction only with respect to matters arising out of the respective territorial jurisdiction. In that view of the matter, these writ petitions cannot be heard here. However, since the matters have remained pending for the last more than a decade, I think it appropriate to transfer the matters to Jaipur Bench instead of directing them to be returned to the petitioner for presentation before appropriate Court. These matters are accordingly disposed from here, and the Registry is directed to send them to Jaipur Bench forthwith. The parties are directed to appear before the Jaipur Bench on 10.12.2007.
