ORDER

' Petitioner is aggrieved by order, dated 22-12-2006 passed by Sukkur Bench of Sindh High Court declining to transfer a Sessions Case from the file of learned Sessions Judge, Khairpur to the Court of an Additional Sessions Judge in the same District.

2. We have heard Mr. Ghulam Qadir Jatoi learned Advocate-onRecord Record for the petitioner.

Perusal of the impugned order tends to reflect that learned Sessions Judge has denied adverse allegations levelled against him and stated that he has not pressurized any party to enter into a compromise. In fact three witnesses have been examined so far. It further appears that on the date of hearing before the High Court learned counsel did not appear and he wilfully chose to remain absent taking it for granted that hearing would be adjourned. In our view, it is absolutely a wrong concept on the part of the counsel and if he was not diligent, he could not claim adjournment as of right and hearing in the matter.

3. Be that as it may, no ground for interference and no question of law of public importance is spelt out with the result that the petition is dismissed.
