Accordingly, let all the transferred cases, as well as the writ petitions, be listed for final hearing and disposal, irrespective of other part-heard or specially fixed matters on 15th, 16th and 17th January, 2013. In all the matters where transfer has not yet been completed, those transfer petitions shall stand allowed and all the petitions, pending in the various courts, should be ...3/-- 3 - transferred to this Court by 15th January, 2013, and be treated as Transferred cases and be listed along with these Transferred cases and the writ petitions.
