Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ordered the transfer of Suit No. 13 of 2001 from the District Judge, Kanpur Dehat to the City Civil Court, Ahmedabad, citing the inappropriate choice of jurisdiction by the respondent, which was deemed to be an attempt to harass the petitioner. The Court emphasized that such misuse of the judicial process for business rivalries should be discouraged. The petition was allowed with costs of Rs. 10,000.
