THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. GOPALA KRISHNA RAO

TRANSFER CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS PETITION No.423 of 2025

ORDER:

The present transfer application is filed by the petitioner for seeking transfer of O.S.No.656 of 2017 on the file of the learned II Additional Junior Civil Judge, Kurnool and transfer the same to the file of the learned I Additional District Judge, Kurnool to try along with O.S.No.62 of 2021 on the file of the learned I Additional District Judge, Kurnool.

The petitioner herein has filed the suit in O.S.No.656 of 2017 on the file of the learned II Additional Junior Civil Judge, Kurnool seeking for the relief of specific performance of an agreement of sale. The respondents herein filed the suit in O.S.No.62 of 2021 on the file of the learned I Additional District Judge, Kurnool seeking the relief of declaration of title and for delivery of possession of the suit schedule land. The suit filed by the respondents viz., O.S.No.62 of 2021, is a comprehensive suit.

The contention of the petitioner herein is that trial in both the suits has not commenced, and the subject matter of the property in both the suits is one and the same, and to avoid conflicting decisions, it is necessary to withdraw the suit of the petitioner on the file of the learned II Additional Junior Civil Judge, Kurnool and it may be transferred to the file of the learned I Additional District Judge, Kurnool, where O.S.No.62 of 2021 is pending.

Though, several opportunities were accorded to the respondents to file a counter-affidavit, the respondents did not file the same. The necessity for transfer of suit from one Court to another would arise if only there exists any similarity of cause of action or commonality of the parties.

Under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, this Court is conferred with comprehensive power to transfer suits, appeals, and other proceedings at any stage, either on the application of any party or suo motu. It cannot be gainsaid that the power to transfer a case must be exercised with due care, caution, and circumspection.

The suit filed by the petitioner is for the relief of specific performance of an agreement of sale, whereas the suit filed by the respondents herein is for seeking the relief of declaration of their title and for delivery of possession. The subject matter of the property involved in both the suits is one and the same, and the parties in both the suits are also on
