Heard.
I intend to dispose of this matter without issuance of notice to the respondent at this stage as otherwise further proceedings before the trial Court would have to be stayed and the applicant/wife would have to bear the litigation and transportation expenses. The applicant/wife is stated to be residing at Jind with her parents. She does not have any independent source of income. It would be difficult for her to travel to Ambala which is at a distance of 140 kms. from Jind. Therefore, it would be appropriate to transfer the petition from the Family Court, Ambala, to a court of competent jurisdiction at Jind. The concerned Court (Jind) will make endeavour to refer the case for Mediation for exploring the possibility of an amicable settlement between the parties.
