CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA

Present:

Mr. G.S. Toor, Advocate, for the applicant.

Mr. Achin Gupta, Advocate, for the respondent. **** Rajan Gupta, J. (Oral) This is a petition seeking transfer of proceedings initiated by husband-respondent under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, (for short 'the Act') from the court at Bathinda to Barnala. It is urged before the court that the applicant has to look after a minor child. She has no source of income. Thus, it is not possible for the applicant-wife to effectively defend the proceedings at Bathinda. Keeping in view facts and circumstances of the case, it is directed that proceedings under Section 9 of the Act at Bathinda be transferred to a court of co-ordinate jurisdiction at Barnala. The petition is allowed in these terms.
