TA No.239 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH TA No.239 of 2010 Date of decision:28.2.2011 Dura Parshad and others ...Applicants Versus Jai Narain Sharma ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mrs.Deipa Ashir Dubey, Advocate, for the applicants. Mr.Pritam Saini, Advocate, for the respondent. ........ JITENDRA CHAUHAN.J (Oral) The present application has been filed under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure for transfer of the case titled `Jai Narain Sharma Vs. Durga Parshad etc.' from the court of learned Additional Senior Sub- Judge, Kurukshetra to any other court of the competent jurisdiction in the States of Punjab, Haryana or at Chandigarh. In the present case, the grouse of the applicants is that the respondent is a practicing Advocate at Kurukshetra; he is an influential person and manipulates to linger on the case in question. Further the learned counsel submits that no Advocate at Kurukshetra or from the vicinity is willing to defend the case of the applicants. The applicants also apprehend that the respondent may involve them in some other criminal case by filing false and frivolous complaints. TA No.239 of 2010 2 I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. There is no force in the argument of the learned counsel for the applicants that the respondent is having influence and he can easily get registered a false case against the applicants. A lawyer is never in a position to influence the administration of justice. Mere presumption or possible apprehensions are not sufficient for a case to be transferred. A transfer should not readily be granted for any fancied notion of a litigant. The yardstick is in interest of justice. The applicants should repose confidence in judicial process. Moreover, there is no material on record to show that the respondent may affect the case on the judicial side, being an influential person. The apprehension of the applicants is baseless and deserves to be rejected. In view of the above, the present application is dismissed. 28.2.2011 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) mk JUDGE
