Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a petition for the transfer of an original application pending before the Debts Recovery Tribunal to the High Court, emphasizing that Article 139-A of the Constitution does not apply as this is not a transfer between High Courts. The Court noted the applicability of Section 25 of the Code of Civil Procedure is doubtful and clarified that a Letter of Credit constitutes a sole contract with the banker, independent of disputes between the buyer and seller. The Court ultimately held that the transfer request was not maintainable, thereby dismissing the petition.
