No Power To Transfer Case From One High Court To Another: Punjab & Haryana High Court

The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled it has no power to transfer cases from one High Court to another.

The petitioner, an advocate, sought the transfer of three cases pending before a High Court judge to a different bench or High Court.

The Court dismissed the plea, stating that such jurisdiction lies only with the Supreme Court and advised the petitioner to approach the correct forum.

The Court also clarified that challenges to a Single Judge’s order should be made through a Letters Patent Appeal (LPA) or directly before the Supreme Court.
