There are affidavits sworn by five residents of Ahmadpur Sial and Garh Maharaja in addition to an affidavit sworn by the petitioner himself in support of the allegations made in the transfer application.
4. In the light of the allegations made in the transfer application which are supported by affidavits of five different persons and in view of the established principle that justice should not only be done but it should manifestly appear to have been done, it is deemed appropriate that the Sessions case in question be transferred from the Court, of Ch. Ihsan‑ul‑Haq Bhalli, Addl. Sessions Judge. It is, therefore, directed that the Sessions case titled "The State v. Muhammad Sharif etc." pending in the Court of Ch. Ihsan‑ul‑Haq Bhalli, Addl. Sessions Judge Jhang, be vrithdrawn from the said learned Court and should be either tried by the learned Sessions Judge, Jhang, himself or be entrusted to some other Additional Sessions Judge posted at Jhang other than Mr. Ihsan‑ul‑Haq Bhaili.
