Allahabad High Court

YASHPAL SINGHversusMALIKHAN SINGH

Decided

Holding

A transfer application cannot proceed and must be dismissed where the applicant fails to prosecute the proceeding.

Summary

The applicant, Yashpal Singh, filed a transfer application (Civil) No. 106 of 2025 before the Allahabad High Court seeking to shift the suit to another court. No counsel appeared on behalf of the applicant to press the application. Consequently, the Court observed that the application was not being prosecuted. The Court dismissed the transfer application on the ground of want of prosecution. In addition, the Court vacated any interim order that had been granted earlier in the proceedings. The dismissal leaves the suit to continue in the original court without any transfer.

Issues considered

  • Whether a transfer application should be dismissed for want of prosecution when the applicant fails to appear?
  • Whether the interim order previously granted should be vacated upon dismissal of the transfer application?

Subjects

  • transfer of suit
  • civil procedure
  • want of prosecution
  • interim order
  • vacated
