Singh**, pending before the court of 4th Jt. Civil Judge Sr. Division, Nagpur, Maharashtra, to the court of competent juridiction at Bokaro, Jharkhand.**

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and in view of the the hardships which will be faced by the petitioner in contesting the case at Nagpur, Maharashtra, we deem it proper to allow the transfer petition and transfer the aforesaid case from court of 4th Jt.
