TA-528-2024 petition under Section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act and the petition under Section 125 Cr.P.C., which are pending in the Courts at Barnala. In the given circumstances, it is submitted that it is difficult for the applicant to commute a distance of about 40 kilometres, from Barnala to Sangrur, to defend the divorce petition. In view of the submissions aforesaid, it is pertinent to mention that even though, time and again, it is observed by the Courts that preference ought to be given to the convenience of wife, in the transfer applications relating to the matrimonial dispute. However, it is not a thumb rule. Various other circumstances, spelt out from the material coming on record, also ought to be taken into consideration.

The distance between Sangrur and Barnala is about 40 kilometres only and it is having a well-connected mode of transport, which shall not be causing much inconvenience to the applicant, to reach the Courts at Sangrur. Solely, on account of seeking convenience, the transfer application should not be allowed, while keeping in view the extent of distance between the two places. Hence, the transfer application is hereby dismissed. (ARCHANA PURI) 19.02.
