Sivakumar also submitted that if cases are not transferred in this manner, it will create two categories of “unintelligible classes of cases”, i.e. those cases filed before the creation of the new court and those filed after the new court comes into existence.
“In such a scenario, lawyers and the litigant-public will be constrained to pursue their remedies before two forums. Worse, there will arise a third category of litigants if an IA needs to be filed for a pending case. The new IAs will have to be filed before the old jurisdiction court”, the petitioner added.
