Gagandeep Kaur v. Jagroop Singh

IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT

CHANDIGARH TA-499-2016 (O & M) Date of decision: 06.12.2016 Gagandeep Kaur ....Applicant V/s Jagroop Singh

...Respondent(s)

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA

Present:

Mr. Anupam Sharma, Advocate, for the applicant. Mr. P.S. Sekhon, 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 Sri Muktsar Sahib to Bathinda. It is urged before the court that the applicant has a minor child to look after. She has no source of income and is dependent upon her old parents. Thus, it would be difficult for the applicant-wife to effectively defend the proceedings at Sri Muktsar Sahib.

Learned counsel for the respondent submits that the respondent-husband is doing some private job in Sri Muktsar Sahib. Keeping in view facts and circumstances of the case, it is directed that proceedings under Section 9 of the Act at Sri Muktsar Sahib be transferred to a court of co-ordinate jurisdiction at Bathinda. The petition is allowed in these terms.
