                                               ORDER

We are told by the learned counsel for the petitioner that although the service is
complete none has entered an appearance. The accident occurred near Banihar (State
of Jammu and Kashmir) where the petitioner had been on holiday in 1988. He met
with an accident in respect of which he filed a claim petition. He prays that the claim
petition may be transferred to Gujarat since it is not convenient for him to go to the
State of Jammu and Kashmir again and again for contesting the petition. Since there
is no objection entered, we allow these transfer petitions and direct that the claim
petitions will stand transferred to the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (Ahmedabad
City Civil Court) for disposal in accordance with law. The Principal Judge of the
Ahmedabad City Civil Court will assign the matter to the claims tribunal concerned
on the papers being laid before him. No costs.
