CHANDIGARH TA-823-2016 (O & M) Date of decision: 06.12.2016 Neelmani ....Applicant V/s Vipin Kumar

...Respondent(s)

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA

Present:

Mr.MJS Bedi, 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 Fazilka to Chandigarh. It is urged before the court that the distance between the two places is about 300 Kms. Proceedings under Section 125 Cr.P.C. are already pending at Chandigarh. Besides, the applicant is dependent on her parents. Thus, it would not be possible for the applicant-wife to effectively defend the proceedings at Fazilka.

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 Fazilka be transferred to a court of co-ordinate jurisdiction at Chandigarh. The petition is allowed in these terms.
