Judgment & Decree

IJAZ AHMAD CHAUDHRY, C.J.

The petitioner is mother of Mst. Javeria, who has filed suit for dissolution of marriage and recovery of dowry articles titled "Javeria Bashir v. Azmat Ali", which is pending in the court of Mr. Masood Akht:,r Kiani, Judge Family Court, Lahore, through the instant application has sought transfer of suit for recovery of Rs.1,00,000 filed by the respondent titled "Azmat Ali v. Mst. Bashiran Bibi", which is pending in the Court of Mr. Masood Ahmad Qureshi, Civil Judge, Gujranwala, to the Court of Judge Family Court, Lahore, where her suit is already pending.

2. In support of this petition, learned counsel contends that Mst. Javeria is living at Lahore with the petitioner, who is an old lady and cannot pursue the case filed by the respondent at Gujranwala.

3. On the other hand, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent has vehemently opposed this application by stating that the same has been tiled just to harass the respondent, which fact is apparent from the order dated 21-4-2010 passed by the learned Judge Family Court, Lahore; that the petitioner's side is very influential and the filing of instant application is just to refrain the respondent from pursuing his case; and that in these circumstances, instead of transferring the case of respondent from Gujranwala, the case pending at Lahore may be transferred to Gujranwala.

4. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record. From the perusal of record it reveals that petitioner's side along with some lawyers of the local bar had attacked upon the respondent on 21-1-2010 in the Court and had caused serious injuries to him as well as his brother Muhammad Ali. They had also caused damage to the rostrum of the Court. A criminal case in this regard has already been registered against the petitioner's side. The submissions made on behalf of the respondent have, thus, full support from the order dated 21-4-2010 passed by the learned trial Court and the F.I.R. lodged by the respondent. According to the learned counsel for the respondent, the case is already ripe for pronouncement of judgment in near future, hence, transfer of the case at this stage will not be proper.

5. For what has been discussed above, this petition is dismissed. H.B.T./B-15/L Application dismissed.
