No.553 of 2021 instituted at the instance of the opposite party-husband from the file of the learned Judge, Family Court, Balasore to the court of the learned Civil Judge (Senior Division), Anandapur on the ground of threat to her life as well as for her inconvenience.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. None appears for the opposite party in spite of sufficiency of notice. 4.

This Court is not convinced of the ground on which the transfer is sought for as no material is produced to substantiate the same. The distance between the places is also not far.

Considering the facts and submissions made, this Court is not inclined to entertain the prayer on the aforesaid ground. 6.

However, liberty is given to the petitioner to approach the Superintendent of Police concerned, if she apprehends any danger to her life and limb on her appearance before the Court from the side of her husband, well ahead of the date of her appearance with a copy of this order to render her necessary protection on the date of her appearance to enable the S.P. concerned to assess the threat perception on her and give necessary protection, if required. Further, if any travel expenses claimed by the petitioner-wife, the Court shall pass necessary order on the same and in that event, the opposite party-husband shall deposit the same in the Court concerned which shall be handed over to the petitioner-wife.

With the aforesaid order, the TRP(C) stands disposed of.
