The present batch of petitions have been filed with following prayers: "i-the present writ petitions may kindly be accept and allow and the impugned order dated 11.03.2026 (Anx-3) passed by the Court of MOTOR ACCIDENT CLAIMS TRIBUNAL NO.1, BUNDI (RAJ.) in MAC No. 289/2025, Titled RAJMAL MEGHWAL VERSUS MAHENDRA KUMAWAT AND OTHERS, MAC No. 287/2025, Titled SUNITA KUMARI MEGHWAL VERSUS MAHENDRA KUMAWAT AND OTHERS, MAC No. 321/2025, Titled KARISHMA AND OTHERS VS. KISHAN KUMAR SHARMA AND OTHERS may kindly be quashed and set aside by way of an appropriate writ or orders; ii- direct by way of an appropriate writ or orders that the learned Tribunal i.e. Motor Accident Claims Tribunal No.1, Bundi (Raj.) may kindly be adjudicate and hear the matter; iii- issue any other appropriate writ, orders or directions as deemed just and proper in the interest of justice and in the facts and circumstances of the case in favour of the petitioners-claimants. [2026:RJ-JP:14787] (3 of 3) [CW-6296/2026] iv- Cost of the present petitions may also be awarded in favour of the petitioners." 2. Upon perusal of the impugned order, this Court notes that the impugned order dated 11.03.2026 is a well-reasoned and speaking order. This Court finds no material perversity or jurisdictional error in the findings recorded therein that would warrant interference. 3. Considering the facts and circumstances of the present case, and taking note of the prior orders passed by the learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Bundi and the learned Additional District Judge, Bundi this Court is of the opinion that the prayer sought for the transfer of the proceedings is not legally permissible. 4. Upon a query put forth by this Court, learned counsel conceded that the distance between the two concerned jurisdictions is merely 40 kilometers. This Court is of the firm opinion that such a negligible distance cannot be construed as a valid impediment or cause for hardship, especially in light of the fact that the facilities of V.C. are readily available at the respective courts to facilitate the appearance of the parties. 5. Accordingly, the present batch of petitions are dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of. 6. A copy of the present order shall be placed in the connected petitions.
