Thus, Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 could not create any embargo in the transfer of a proceeding from one Foreigners\u2019 Tribunal to another.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The issue, in this case, was that when a Foreigners\u2019 Tribunal is given to decide a reference received from the registering authority of that district or part thereof, can another Tribunal of a different district, not ordinarily having the jurisdiction to decide such a reference emanating from the other district, assume jurisdiction to decide the reference and whether the High Court, in exercise of its powers under Article 226 of the Constitution, can confer such jurisdiction to the other Foreigners\u2019 Tribunal to decide a transferred reference.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court, relying on <i>Mamoni Rajkumari v.
