SOBHAGMAL Vs. TIKAMCHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is an application for transfer of a case pending in the Court of Shri Matadeen Sharma, first Class Magistrate Bhilwara under sec. 29 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.

(2.) THE grounds for transfer are stated to be that one Shri Ramesh Chandra Vyas is an influential labour leader and is on friendly terms with the Magistrate. He had been attending the Court on almost all the dates of hearing not as a silent spectator but as an intruder and that he frequently makes suggestions to the learned Magistrate. In particular, on, the 8th of July 1952, he suggested to the Court to fix the case for the next day and undertook to get the summonses served on the accused on the very day. THE suggestion was accepted. It is contended that in view of the influence of Shri Ramesh Chandra Vyas on the Magistrate the accused do not expect a fair trial in his Court.
