THE APPELLATE TRIBUNAL :
Admission
Respondents are represented through Mr. A. Pramanick, Learned Counsel.
Heard the Learned Counsel for the parties and perused the record. DRT-2 Kolkata is lying vacant for a long time. Earlier additional charge was assigned to Learned Presiding Officer DRT Siliguri which too expired on 31st August, 2023. Thereafter, neither any Presiding Officer is posted in the DRT-2 Kolkata, nor the charge was assigned to any other DRT. In cases of urgent matter, it is necessary that a litigant should not be left remediless. In such circumstances, I find it appropriate that the matter S.A. No.
2
91 of 2016 be transferred to any other DRT for disposal in accordance with law. Accordingly, Transfer Petition No. 04 of 2023 is allowed. SA No. 91 of 2016 is recalled from the file of DRT -2 Kolkata and is transferred to the file of DRT-1 Kolkata for disposal in accordance with law.
