Rajni v. Rajinder Singh

IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT

CHANDIGARH TA-621-2016 (O & M) Date of decision: 07.11.2016 Rajni ....Applicant(s) V/s Rajender Singh

...Respondent(s)

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA

Present:

Mr. Rajnikant Upadhyay, Advocate, for the applicant. **** 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 Safidon to Sunam. It is urged before the court that proceedings under Section 125 Cr.P.C. are already pending at Sunam. Applicant is residing with her parents and is dependent upon them. She has no source of income. Besides, the distance between the two places is about 175 Kms. Thus, it would be difficult for the applicant-wife to effectively defend the proceedings at Safidon.

Respondent remains unrepresented despite service. Keeping in view facts and circumstances of the case, it is directed that proceedings under Section 9 of the Act at Safidon be transferred to a court of co-ordinate jurisdiction at Sunam. The petition is allowed in these terms.
