Transfer of suits is the correct CPC terminology for the power to move a case between courts. Res judicata (S.11) is about finality of decided matters. Reference (S.113) involves referring a question to a higher court for opinion. Review (S.114/Order 47) is re-examination of a judgment by the same court. Only 'transfer of suits' describes the shifting of a case from one court's jurisdiction to another.
The text reads: Sections 22-25 CPC are grouped under the heading 'Transfer of Suits, Appeals and Other Proceedings'.
