¶19

The reason disclosed by the petitioner for seeking transfer is that the respondent/ his estranged wife is politically connected and the petitioner is facing harassment at the hands of respondent and her family members whenever he is attending the Court proceedings.

¶20

The further submission of the petitioner is that the proceedings are prolonging and the cases are not being decided expeditiously.

¶21

In my view, the aforesaid do not constitute reasons for transfer of the proceedings to another district. It is not the petitioner’s case that the Court at Karkardooma Court Complex is not competent, or does not have jurisdiction to deal with the complaints and cases pending between him and his estranged wife.

¶22

In view of the aforesaid circumstances, I am not inclined to transfer the pending cases as sought for by the petitioner. However, in view of the threat perceived by the petitioner, I direct the in-charge of the Police Post at Karkardooma Courts Complex, and the SHO, PS – Farsh Bazar to provide adequate protection to the petitioner whenever he attends the Court

¶23

proceedings in the concerned Courts. The petitioner shall keep the SHO/ incharge of the aforesaid Police Post/ Station informed of the date of hearing of his cases so that they are aware when he is visiting the said Courts complex. The Courts in which the cases between the parties are pending are also requested to expedite the disposal of the cases.

¶24

The petition stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms. Dasti.
