...Respondent(s)

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA

Present:

Mr. Y.P. Malik, Advocate, for the applicant.

Mr. Manish Soni, Advocate, for the respondent. **** Rajan Gupta, J. (Oral) This is a petition seeking transfer of proceedings initiated by husband-respondent under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, (for short 'the Act') from the court at Sirsa to Fazilka. It is urged before the court that certain litigation is already pending at Abohar (Fazilka). She has a minor daughter to look after. Besides, the distance between the two places is about 125 Kms. Thus, it would be difficult for the applicant-wife to effectively defend the proceedings at Sirsa.

Prayer has been opposed by learned counsel appearing for the respondent. According to him, inconvenience would be caused to the respondent-husband in case proceedings are transferred to the court at Fazilka.

Keeping in view facts and circumstances of the case, it is directed that proceedings under Section 13 of the Act at Sirsa be transferred to a court of co-ordinate jurisdiction at Fazilka. The petition is allowed in these terms.
