The Court allowed the appeals, holding that Sears J exercised his discretion on an irrelevant consideration (procedural convenience and desire to centralise interlocutory control) and that the mere possibility of commercial elements (loans and pledges) and allegations of fraud/sham assignments did not justify transfer at this stage; the transfer order was set aside and the matter must be reconsidered on proper grounds under Order 72.
