JUDGMENT
JUDGMENT ' The applicant has sued the respondent for recovery of Rs.10,000 as prompt dower. This suit is under hearing in the Court of Syed Iftikhar Hussain Shah, Judge, Family Court, Lahore. On the other hand, the respondent has brought a suit against the applicant, in the Family Court No. 27, Karachi for restitution of conjugal rights. Through this application, the respondent's suit is sought to be transferred to the learned Family Court, Lahore. 2. The learned counsel for the parties, have been heard. On behalf of the respondent, the sustenance of the instant application has been questioned on the ground that the Lahore High Court has no jurisdiction to transfer the suit pending in the Family Court, Karachi, to some other Court. 3. There is much force in this contention. The Lahore High Court has been established for the Province of Punjab and cannot have extra territorial jurisdiction over a matter pending in a Court in another A province. Even the learned counsel for the applicant concedes. The instant application, therefore, cannot proceed. It is disposed of accordingly.
