¶44

Upon perusal of the impugned order, this Court notes that the impugned order dated 11.03.2026 is a well-reasoned and speaking order. This Court finds no material perversity or jurisdictional error in the findings recorded therein that would warrant interference.

¶45

Considering the facts and circumstances of the present case, and taking note of the prior orders passed by the learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Bundi and the learned Additional District Judge, Bundi this Court is of the opinion that the prayer sought for the transfer of the proceedings is not legally permissible.

¶46

Upon a query put forth by this Court, learned counsel conceded that the distance between the two concerned jurisdictions is merely 40 kilometers. This Court is of the firm opinion that such a negligible distance cannot be construed as a valid impediment or cause for hardship, especially in light of the fact that the facilities of V.C. are readily available at the respective courts to facilitate the appearance of the parties.

¶47

Accordingly, the present batch of petitions are dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of. 6. A copy of the present order shall be placed in the connected petitions.
