IQBALJIT SINGH vs PRITAM KAUR

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order transferring a civil suit under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure was not justified. The Court emphasized that the plaintiff, Smt. Pritam Kaur, had initiated the suit in Faridabad and pursued it for two years before seeking transfer, which did not constitute a valid ground for transfer based solely on her old age. The Court set aside the High Court's order and directed the trial court at Faridabad to decide the suit within four months, ensuring no unnecessary adjournments are granted.
