JUDGMENT

Reported As: 2002 SCMR 1342 Result: Petition dismissed Judgment JUDGMENT ' QAZI MUHAMMAD FAROOQ, J.---This petition has arisen from the order dated 17-9-2001 passed by the learned Chief Justice, Lahore High Court dismissing an application for transfer of Writ Petition No,2146 of 2001 from a particular Bench. The application was dismissed with the following observations:-- "The sought for transfer of the captioned writ petition on the ground that a Division Bench comprising Ihsanul Haq Chaudhry (former Judge) and Mian Saqib Nisar, J., had declined to hear the same on account of propriety is misconceived because that observation was made only by the Senior Member of the Bench and is accordingly hereby dismissed." 2. The prayer for transfer of the matter is not backed by any law or the Constitution and in any event the impugned order being prerogative-related is unexceptionable. The petition is, therefore, dismissed and leave refused.
