            Mr. Azizullah Jamali, advocate for applicant

            Mr. Tahir Hussain, A.P.G.

            ------------------------------------

           

            Applicant Syed Asif Hussain is accused in Illegal Dispossession Complaint No.145/2024 (Mst. Nighat Sultana vs. Syed Asif Hussain). He has filed this transfer application on the ground that learned Presiding Officer has allowed application under Section 7 of the Illegal Dispossession Act, 2005 and restored the physical possession of the property in question, therefore, the applicant has lost trust on learned Presiding Officer.

 

            Learned A.P.G. opposed the application on the ground that this is a frivolous application and is without any substance.

 

            Comments were called from learned trial Court, which reveals that respondent/complainant Mst. Nighat Sultana obtained possession of residential properties constructed on Plots Nos.523 and 524, admeasuring 120 square yards each, situated in Area-I, Sector 35-D, Korangi, Karachi in Civil Execution No.10/2020, arising out of Civil Suit No.1390/2019 through Court’s Bailiff and the applicant again illegally occupied the said property. She filed two Complaints under the Illegal Dispossession Act, 2005 and after hearing the parties, learned Presiding Officer allowed the application under Section 7 of the Illegal Dispossession Act, 2005, which annoyed the applicant to file the instant transfer application. It is a matter of record that order on application under Section 7 of the Illegal Dispossession Act, 2005 was challenged before this Court in Criminal Revision Application No.42/2025, which was dismissed vide order dated 21.02.2025. It has also come on record that Criminal Revision Application No.52/2025 was also dismissed by this Court.

 

            Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.P.G. and perused the material available on record.

 

            From perusal of record it appears that instant transfer application has been filed without any substance or cogent ground. Any judicial order can be challenged before the next forum. In the present case, applicant has impugned the orders passed by learned Presiding Officer, which were maintained by this Court. I am of the considered view that instant transfer application is not maintainable, the same is dismissed, however, with direction to the learned trial Court to decide the case of the applicant, preferably within a period of 3 months, without granting any adjournment to either party on any flimsy ground, under intimation to this Court through learned MIT-II.
