Let the records of the case be transferred to the Court of District Judge, Chandigarh, who shall assign the same to a Court of competent jurisdiction.
The transferee Court shall issue notice to the parties after fixing a date of hearing.
However, as the respondent is a resident of Bangalore, the transferee Court is requested to accommodate the respondent as far as possible, and if it is not otherwise inconvenient to the transferee Court, it may fix the dates of hearing in such a fashion so that the matter may be taken up for hearing on day-to-day basis.
