When Courts, which move at snail’s pace, are ridiculed, we do not know how Courts that proceed on fast track could also be condemned, the Bench said.The High court of Andhra Pradesh has observed that mere apprehension of litigants that they might not get justice from a particular judge, because the judge dismissed around 45 appeals within three days, is not a ground to transfer the case. The High court of Andhra Pradesh has observed that mere apprehension of litigants that they might not get justice from a particular judge, because the judge dismissed around 45 appeals within three days, is not a ground to transfer the case to another court. The Appellants before an Additional District Court had approached the High Court by preferring a Transfer petition stating that presiding Judge of the Court, wherein their appeal is pending, had dismissed 45 appeals in a span of three days without taking up final hearing in a proper manner and that therefore, there is a reasonable apprehension in their minds that they may not get justice from the judge. When Courts, which move at snail’s pace, are ridiculed, we do not know how Courts that proceed on fast track could also be condemned.” The Single Judge of the High Court had referred these petitions to Division Bench in view of conflicting decisions in Manchukonda Venkata Jagannadham v. ChettipalliBullamma and T. Niranjan v. Ch.
