ORDER

Heard

1. This Transfer Civil Miscellaneous Petition is filed by the petitioner under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure to withdraw H.M.O.P. No.2104 of 2025 pending on the file of the IV Additional Family Court, Chennai and to transfer the same to the file of the Family Court, Karaikal.

2. The petitioner is the wife and the respondent is the husband. The marriage between the parties solemnized on 24.01.2024. There are no children through the wedlock. The respondent has filed H.M.O.P. No.2104 of 2025 before the IV Additional Family Court, Chennai. It is the case of the petitioner that she is residing at Karaikal and she has also initiated H.M.O.P.NO. 51 of 2025 for restitution of Conjugal Rights before Family Court Karaikal and D.V.C. Complaint in No.7 of 2025 before Judicial Magistrate II Karaikal. She states that she would be put to hardship if she is compelled to travel to Chennai on every hearing date.

3. Considering the facts and circumstances, and taking note of the convenience of the petitioner/wife, this Court is of the view that the transfer sought for is to be ordered. In matrimonial transfer petitions, the convenience of the wife ordinarily deserves greater weight and the ends of justice would be met by allowing the transfer.
