CORAM: J.H.BHATIA,J. DATE : 5th October, 2010. P.C. 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the applicant as well as the learned Counsel for the respondent No.3. 2. The applicant seeks transfer of MCA No.40/2008 from the file of Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Solapur to the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Mumbai on the ground that she is now residing at Mumbai and it is inconvenient for her to go to Solapur. According to her, after death of her husband, she has come to Mumbai. As the accident took place within the jurisdiction of the Solapur Court, the witnesses, including Police officers and doctors will be from 2 MCA-26-10.sxw that area. Not only this, respondent, who is the owner of the vehicle is shown to be resident of District Gulbarga, in Karnataka, which is close to Solapur. If the matter is transferred from Solapur to Mumbai, it will cause great hardship to him also. The applicant will be required to attend the Tribunal at Solapur as and when the matter is called for final hearing. Her presence on every date is not necessary. It is further contended that she is physically handicapped. Solapur is connected to Mumbai by train and it appears that she has already obtained a certificate whereby she is entitle to travel on concessional rate on the ground that she is physically handicapped. Thus, cost of travelling for her would be much less than the cost of others. 3. In view of the above circumstances, the Application is rejected. (J.H.BHATIA,J.)
