TA-1388-2024 It is submitted by the counsel for the applicant that there is no child born from the estranged marriage. Also, it is submitted that the applicant is not doing any work. The applicant has filed the petition under Section 144 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, as well as the petition under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, which are pending in the Courts at Rajpura. The distance between the two places is stated to be about 40 kms.

On the other hand, counsel for the respondent submits that the distance is falsely stated to be about 40 kms., whereas, it is less than that and both the stations are well-connected by road and rail. In view of the submissions aforesaid, it is pertinent to mention that though, the distance between the two places is stated to be about 40 kms., but however, it is about 30 kms. only. Moreover, both the places are well-connected by road and rail. Also, there is no child born from the wedlock of the parties. As such, there is no constrained circumstance or responsibility upon the applicant, which may cause inconvenience to her, in pursuing the litigation.

In view of the aforesaid fact situation, no case is made out for allowing the application.

Hence, the transfer application is hereby dismissed. (ARCHANA PURI) 22.01.2026 JUDGE Himanshu Vats Whether speaking/reasoned :
