"6.I state that the respondent denied all my articles and jewels. They threatened me not to come there to take any things. They have every power threaten me if I go to the Family Court, Trichy. Since my father is blind, I could not go to the court alone. There is every possibility of attack me and get sign from me for divorce.

7.I state that I am looking after my age old mother. My father is blind. I have to travel more than 50 kilometers to attend the case. It is difficult for me to leave my mother in my house alone and it is difficult for her to travel such a long distance. She is undergoing treatment for may ailments. Unless this Hon'ble Court is indulged to transfer the H.M.O.P.No. 636/20222 to Family Court, Thanjavur, I will be put to irreparable loss and hardship. Therefore, it is necessary to grant an order of interim stay of the further proceeding of the H.M.O.P. Otherwise, I will be put to irreparable loss and hardship."

4.Being satisfied with the reasons stated in the affidavit filed in support of this petition, this Court is inclined to allow this petition. Hence, HMOP.No.636 of 2022 is transferred from the file of Family Court, Tiruchirappalli to Family Court, Thanjavur.
