1. In our view a case for transfer of the title suits being Suit Nos.100/1996 and 1/1997 from Patna to Delhi is not made out. But, keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly the fact that Petitioner No.1, namely, Premlata Singh is under treatment for kidney failure and the petitioners apprehend danger to their lives at Patna, it is directed that if a request is made on their behalf for being examined at Delhi through a Court Commissioner, such a request shall be granted.

2. The petitioners shall bear the expenses of the Court Commissioner.

3. These transfer petitions are disposed of accordingly.
