(Arising out of SLP ( C) No. 15810 of 2015)

1. Leave granted.

2. This appeal has been filed against the order dated 10.12.2014 passed by the High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad in Miscellaneous Civil Application (For Transfer) No.2596 of 2014 whereby the High Court dismissed the transfer application.
