From the above, it is clear that after hearing the parties, this Court, on its own motion, without such notice, can also order transfer on the administrative side. If both the parties are present before the Court and the transfer petition is also pending before this Court, necessarily, this Court has to exercise judicial powers. Exercising administrative powers is something different where both parties may not have applied for transfer. In this case, some of the parties have approached this Court. When that issue is decided, this Court has got necessary powers to pass orders and it is not necessary to pass orders on administrative side alone. Moreover, Section 24 (1)(a) CPC categorically states transfer of any suit, not only the suit, which has been sought, but also other suits. Therefore, there is no prohibition for this Court, under Section 24 CPC or other provisions to exercise suo motu power or exercise power under Section 24(1)(a) CPC to transfer the suit O.S. No. 13012 of 2009 on the file of XV Assistant City Civil Court, Chennai, to the file of Additional District Court, Ponneri, where O.S. No. 201 of 2013 filed by respondents 1 to 4 is pending.
