( 1 ) THIS Transfer CMP is filed by the Petitioners, who are Respondents in RCC no. 350 of 2000 seeking to transfer the same from the file of the II Additional Rent Controller, Hyderabad to the file of the XIII Additional Chief Judge, CCC, Hyderabad to be tried along with O. S. No. 527 of 2001 filed by the present Petitioners against the respondents herein for specific performance of an agreement of sale.

( 2 ) IT is stated that the Respondents 1 and 2 filed RCC No. 350 of 2000 against the petitioner s father impleading him as the sole respondent when he was alive and eviction was sought for on the ground of wilful default in payment of rents, bona fide requirement of the premises for the Petitioners therein and denial of title by the Respondent/tenant. Apart from seeking vacant possession from the Respondents, it is also sought for direction for arrears of rent in a sum of Rs. 50,704. 00, in addition for direction to pay the future rents of Rs. 532. 00 per month from the date of application till the date of delivery. After entering appearance by the Respondents, who is the father of the petitioners, he died. Latter the Petitioners mother as well as the Petitioners herein were impleaded as legal representatives. Subsequently, the Petitioners mother also died on 1-7-2002 and the present Petitioners, who are the legal representatives, are the Respondents in the rent control petition. It is further stated that during the life time of the Petitioners mother, along with the petitioners she filed O. S. No. 527 of 2001 against the Respondents herein in the Court of the Chief Judge, City Civil Court, hyderabad, which was subsequently transferred to the Fast Track Court i. e. , XIII Additional Chief Judge, CCC. Hyderabad. The said suit was for a direction to the defendants to receive the balance sale consideration of Rs. 4 lakhs from the plaintiffs and execute the sale deed in their favour at her expense, in pursuance of the agreement of sale dated 20-3-1993, executed by the 1st defendant in favour of Sri L. K. Narayana swamy, father of the Petitioners. If the 1st defendant failed to execute the sale deed, seeking to execute such sale deed by the court on behalf of the 1st Respondent in favour of the plaintiffs and further to declare that the sale deed dated 1-5-2000, said to have been executed by the 1 st defendant in favour of the 2nd defendant as sham, nominal, fabricated and not binding on the plaintiffs and for other incidental reliefs. It is also stated that the first defendant filed her written statement denying the execution of the agreement of sale dated 20-3-1993 in favour of the Petitioners father and contended that the plaintiffs were not entitled for the relief sought for in the suit. According to the Petitioners, the questions of fact and law raised in the Rent control Case as well as in the suit filed by the Petitioners are similar and hence it is expedient in the interest of the justice that both the cases be tried by the one Court to avoid conflicting decisions, being rendered. Hence, the present transfer CMP.
