In each instance, the learned counsel for the respondents expressed no objection to the transfer of the respective petitions. Consequently, the Supreme Court allowed the transfer of the Writ Petition No. 21139 of 2006 from the Gujarat High Court, the Civil Writ Petition No. 7043 of 2007 from the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, and the Civil Misc.
