For Petitioner(s): Mr.T.S.Baskaran For Respondent(s): No Appearance. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis __________ Page2 of 4 ORDER The petitioners are the claimants in M.C.O.P. No.240 of 2017. They seek transfer of the said proceedings from the file of the Special District Court, Villupuram, to the file of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Pondicherry, on the ground that the accident occurred near Puducherry, where the claimants are residing. It is their case that they are finding it difficult to prosecute the claim before the Special District Court, Villupuram, though they had initially chosen to institute the proceedings there. 2. Notice has been served on the first respondent, the owner of the vehicle, who has also entered appearance. However, there is no representation on behalf of the first respondent. The name of the learned counsel appearing for the second respondent/Insurance Company is also printed in the cause list. However, there is no representation on behalf of the second respondent as well. 3. Considering the fact that the respondents, despite having been duly served with notice, have not chosen to raise any objection to the transfer sought for, this Court is inclined to allow the Transfer Civil Miscellaneous Petition. No prejudice would be caused to the respondents by such transfer, particularly when the accident occurred near Puducherry and the claimants are residents of Puducherry. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis __________ Page3 of 4 4. In fine, the Transfer Civil Miscellaneous Petition is allowed. M.C.O.P. No.240 of 2017 is withdrawn from the file of the Special District Court, Villupuram, and is transferred to the file of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Pondicherry.
