Suit No. 464 of 2013 has already been transferred to Patiala House Courts, New Delhi. Since Suit No. 464 of 2013 is connected with Suit No. 588 of 2013, it is directed that Suit No. 464 of 2013 shall also be tried and adjudicated by the High Court of Delhi along with Suit No. 588 of 2013. All the proceedings transfer whereof is sought for emanate from Suit No. 464 of 2013, and, accordingly, all these proceedings also stand transferred to the High Court of Delhi to be tried along with Suit No. 464 of 2013 and Suit No. 588 of 2013.
