THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE BATTU DEVANAND
Tr.C.M.P.NO.184 of 2022
O R D E R:
This Transfer Civil Miscellaneous Petition has been filed to
withdraw the O.S.No.3 of 2020 on the file of the Principal
Senior Civil Judge at Eluru and to transfer the same to IV Addl.
District & Sessions Judge, Guntur or any other competent
Court.
2) Heard Sri Yannam Narapa Reddy, learned counsel
for the petitioners and Sri B. Parameswara Rao, learned
counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 and 3. Perused the record.
3) The petitioners herein are the plaintiffs and the
respondents herein are the defendants in O.S.No.3 of 2020 on
the file of the Principal Senior Civil Judge at Eluru.
4) In compliance of the order, dated 21.06.2022 of
this Court, personal notice was issued to the respondents by
the petitioner counsel through the registered post with
acknowledgment due. The learned counsel for the petitioners
filed postal track report along with a memo vide
U.S.R.No.40215/2022 on 11.07.2022, which shows the notice
was delivered to the respondent on 28.06.2022 except 1st
Respondent. In spite of service of notice, there is no
appearance for the Respondent Nos.2, 4 and 5.
5) The case of the petitioners is that they filed the suit
in O.S.No.3 of 2020 on the file of the Principal Senior Civil
Judge at Eluru, seeking perpetual injunction over the suit
schedule property and other reliefs against the respondents
whereas the respondents filed a suit in O.S.No.31 of 2022 on
the file of the IV Addl. District & Sessions Judge at Guntur,
seeking declaration and injunction over the same schedule
property against the petitioners herein and others.
6) Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that
since the parties and the reliefs are same, both the suits can
be tried together to avoid conflict of judgments and in the
interest of parties. Such course causes no prejudice to the
respondents and is a determinative requirement. Therefore,
the learned counsel prays to allow the Transfer Civil
Miscellaneous Petition.
7) Learned counsel for the respondent Nos.1 and 3
reported no objection to transfer the suit in O.S.No.3 of 2020
from the file of the Principal Senior Civil Judge at Eluru to IV
Addl. District & Sessions Judge, Guntur.
8) Having heard the respective counsel and upon
perusal of the material available on record, it is clear that the
parties and reliefs are one and the same in both the suits and
to avoid the conflicting of the judgments by different Courts
and as the learned counsel for the respondent Nos.1 and 3
reported no objection and there is no resistance from the other
Respondents, this Court is of the opinion that it is a fit case to
transfer the suit in O.S.No.3 of 2020 from the file of the
Principal Senior Civil Judge at Eluru to IV Addl. District &
Sessions Judge, Guntur.
9) Accordingly, this Transfer Miscellaneous Petition is
allowed and the suit in O.S.No.3 of 2020 pending on the file of
the Principal Senior Civil Judge at Eluru is hereby withdrawn
and transferred to the IV Addl. District & Sessions Judge,
Guntur to hear along with O.S.No.31 of 2022 which is pending
on its file. The learned Principal Senior Civil Judge at Eluru
shall transmit the entire record in O.S.No.3 of 2020 pending on
its file to IV Addl. District & Sessions Judge, Guntur, forthwith,
by duly indexed.
10) There shall be no order as to costs.
As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions, if any pending, shall
stand closed.
