Judgment & Decree
This is a civil miscellaneous petition for transfer of a writ petition from its Rawalpindi Bench to the Principal Seat of this Court.
2. Learned counsel argues that three lawyers of the petitioner left him because the respondents are, influential persons. I do not know the circumstances in which the lawyers have declined to assist the petitioner. In other words, it cannot be said as to whether the fault lies with the petitioner or with the lawyers in question or with the respondents. If the learned counsel now representing the petitioner in this civil miscellaneous petition is prepared to represent the petitioner, he can do-so at Rawalpindi Bench also. I am not inclined to transfer a matter from a Bench to the Principal Seat just for the reason that a party has engaged a counsel of Lahore. With these observations, prayer made in the petition is not allowed. It is, accordingly, dismissed. AA./F-186/L Transfer application dismissed.
