HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE ARCHANA PURI Present:- Mr. Janak Singh Bhinder, Advocate for the applicant (in both the applications). None for the respondent.

***** ARCHANA PURI, J. (Oral) Perusal of the paperbook reveals that on the last date of hearing, despite service, the respondent did not make appearance. Even today, he has not made appearance. As such, the respondent is proceeded against ex parte. The counsel for the applicant heard.

These are two transfer applications, filed at the instance of Gurdeep Kaur, thereby seeking transfer of petition under Section 25 of

Guardian and Wards Act i.e. GW-52/2023 titled "Harjinder Singh v/s Gurdeep Kaur" and petition under Section 13 of Hindu Marriage Act i.e. HMA/588/2023 titled "Harjinder Singh v/s Gurdeep Kaur", filed by her, pending in Family Court, Barnala and she seeks transfer of the said applications, to Family Court (Camp Court), Sunam, District Sangrur. At the very outset, it is submitted by the counsel for the applicant that the marriage between the parties, had taken place on 11.02.2015 and one son born from the said wedlock, who is about 10 years old, is in the care and custody of the applicant. On account of the matrimonial dispute, the parties are residing separate. The applicant has filed petition under Section 125 Cr.P.C., which is pending in the courts at Sunam and the respondent has not paid any maintenance to the applicant.

Furthermore, also it is submitted that the civil suit, filed at the instance of the applicant, is also pending in the courts at Sunam. In view of the aforesaid mitigating circumstances, more particularly, when the respondent has not come forward to resist the transfer application as well as taking into consideration the fact of the child to be in the care and custody of the applicant, who herself is not having any source of earning, as well as two other litigation arising from the matrimonial dispute, already pending in the courts at Sunam, the transfer application is allowed and both the transfer applications i.e. TA-643-2025 and TA-6502025 are allowed and the petition under Section 25 of Guardian and Wards Act i.e. GW-52/2023 titled "Harjinder Singh v/s Gurdeep Kaur" and petition under Section 13 of Hindu Marriage Act i.e.

HMA/588/2023 titled "Harjinder Singh v/s Gurdeep Kaur", filed by the respondent, stand transferred from the Courts at Barnala, to the Court of competent jurisdiction at Family Court (Camp Court), Sunam, District Sangrur.
