In Brief
Sunita Prashar sought to transfer a pending civil appeal from the court of an Additional District Judge on grounds of alleged bias and improper influence by the opposing bank. She claimed the bank manager had contacted a senior advocate closely related to the judge. The Supreme Court dismissed the revision petition, holding that transfer applications require substantive evidence or reasons, not mere apprehension. Since the allegations lacked basis, substance, and specific details, and the judge had no personal interest, the Court found no illegality in the lower court's refusal to transfer and held that a petitioner cannot seek transfer on mere probabilities.
