ORDER
This transfer civil miscellaneous petition has been filed to withdraw the case in H.M.O.P.No.669 of 2024 on the file of the Family Court, Coimbatore and transfer the same to the Sub Court, Poonamallee, Chennai. 2.Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record. 3.Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner filed a petition under the Domestic Violence Act in D.V.C.No.125 of 2023 before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Coimbatore, seeking appropriate relief. Subsequently, the respondent filed a petition in H.M.O.P.No.669 of 2024 before the Family Court, Coimbatore, seeking restitution of conjugal rights. The petitioner has four years child and she is living with her parents.
She further submits that the petitioner's father has been facing several health issues and he requires regular medical treatment and hospital visits at Chennai and therefore, the petitioner's family shifted to Chennai. Now, it is very difficult for her to attend each and every hearing before the Family Court, Coimbatore. She further submits that at the time of filing this transfer civil miscellaneous petition, she wrongly mentioned H.M.O.P.No. as 699 of 2024 instead of H.M.O.P.No.669 of 2024 and request that the same shall be read as H.M.O.P.No.669 of 2024 in the order. Therefore, she prays to transfer the case to the Sub Court, Poonamallee, Chennai.

I find merit in the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side.

Accordingly, the case in H.M.O.P.No.669 of 2024 is hereby withdrawn from the file of the Family Court, Coimbatore and transferred to the file of the Sub Court, Poonamallee, Chennai.
