Court maintains trial in Delhi High Court, rejects transfer to Madras. Appellant directed to deposit funds.
The Court decided to maintain the trial of a suit in Delhi High Court instead of transferring it to Madras High Court. The appellant, a plaintiff in the suit, argued that the transfer would inconvenience the parties due to key individuals and entities being based in Delhi. The Court directed the appellant to deposit a sum of money to cover expenses, with further deposits subject to the Company Judge's orders. The Court set aside the transfer request, referencing a previous order and instructing the Official Liquidator to file necessary applications. The appeal was disposed of, maintaining the direction to proceed with the suit in Delhi.
Issues: Transfer of suit from Delhi High Court to Madras High Court for trial.
Analysis: The appellant filed an intra Court appeal against an order directing the transfer of a suit from Delhi High Court to Madras High Court for trial. The appellant, a plaintiff in the suit, argued that the transfer would inconvenience the parties involved as key individuals and entities were based in Delhi. The appellant expressed willingness to cover the costs of contesting the suit in Delhi due to the limited funds of the Company in liquidation. The Official Liquidator agreed to seek approval to present expense accounts for contesting the suit in Delhi. The appellant contended that the transfer request was not made by either party before the Company Judge. After hearing both sides, the Court decided that allowing the trial to proceed in Delhi would be more appropriate given the circumstances. The appellant was directed to deposit a sum of money to cover expenses, with further deposits subject to the Company Judge's orders. The Court modified the order, maintaining the first two directions but setting aside the transfer of the suit to Madras High Court. The Court referenced a previous order by Delhi High Court and noted that any waiver requests for deposit requirements should be made before the Delhi High Court upon suit restoration. The Official Liquidator was instructed to file the necessary applications accordingly. The Court concluded by disposing of the appeal, maintaining the direction to proceed with the suit in Delhi and setting aside the transfer to Madras High Court.
