Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, exercising its jurisdiction under Section 25 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, ordered the transfer of Original Suit No.865 of 1997 and F.A.O. 52 (D)/2002 to the Lucknow Bench of the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad. The Court held that the transfer was necessary for the ends of justice as the suit was associated with previously transferred matters. The Court also encouraged the Presiding Judge to permit recording of evidence on commission to manage the case efficiently.
