Versus
KHAJAN SINGH .....Respondent
CORAM:
HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE ARCHANA PURI Present:- Mr. Amaninder Singh Sekhon, Advocate for the applicant. None for the respondent.
***** ARCHANA PURI, J. (Oral) Perusal of the paperbook reveals that even though, the respondent, at first instance, had made appearance through Mr. Lupil Gupta, Advocate, who had filed Power of Attorney on 04.04.2025, but however, thereafter, on the subsequent date, none had made appearance. Even today, none has made appearance on behalf of the respondent. Seemingly, the respondent is not interested to pursue with the transfer application. As such, the respondent is proceeded against ex parte. Counsel for the applicant heard.
The applicant-wife has filed the present application for seeking transfer of the petition under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act i.e. HMA/117/2024, titled 'Khajan Singh Vs. Kiranjit Kaur', filed by the respondent-husband, pending in the Family Court (Camp Court) Patti, District Tarn Taran and she seeks transfer of the same to the Court of competent jurisdiction at Faridkot.
It is submitted by the counsel for the applicant that the marriage Sonu 2025.09.05 15:34 I agree to specified portions of this document P&HHC
TA-1598-2024 between the parties to the lis, had taken place on 06.03.2023, but no child was born from the said wedlock. On account of the matrimonial dispute, the parties are residing separate. The applicant is having no source of earning and as such, she has already filed the petition under Section 144 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, which is pending in the Courts at Faridkot and the respondent is making appearance in the same. Furthermore, the distance between the two places is stated to be about 90 kilometres. As such, it is submitted that it is difficult for the applicant, to defend the petition under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act.
In view of the aforesaid mitigating circumstances, more particularly, considering the fact about the respondent having not come forward to resist the application and also considering other litigating already pending in the Courts at Faridkot, the transfer application is allowed and the petition under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act i.e. HMA/117/2024, titled 'Khajan Singh Vs. Kiranjit Kaur', filed by the respondent-husband, stands transferred from the Family Court (Camp Court) Patti, District Tarn Taran, to the Court of competent jurisdiction at Faridkot. The requisite record of the aforesaid case be sent by the Family Court (Camp Court) Patti, to the District and Sessions Judge, Faridkot. Learned District and Sessions Judge, Faridkot, shall assign the said petition to the Family Court, Faridkot.
Even, the parties are directed to appear before the Family Court, Faridkot, within a period of one month from today onwards.
