Subhojit Roychoudhury Mr. Debasis Kar, Mr. Subhajit Chowdhury ... for the Petitioner.

Mr. Ayan Banerjee, Ms. Debasree Dhamali, Mr. Suman Banerjee ... for the Opposite Party.

The petitioner is the wife, who seeks transfer of Matrimonial Suit No.2847 of 2021, which is pending before the learned Additional District Judge, 3rd Court at Alipore to the court of the learned Additional District Judge at Barrackpore.

The petitioner finds it difficult to travel to Barrackpore with a six-year old minor girl.

It is contended by the husband that the petitioner is a working lady who travels to New Town everyday and travelling to Alipore court would not be such a difficult proposition. The husband resides at Alipore and it would be difficult for the husband to travel to Barrackpore on a regular basis.

Considering the fact that the wife resides at Agarpara and the husband resides at Alipore, this Court is of the view that a convenient place which is well-connected by bus and train, should be selected for disposal of the matrimonial suit. On the prayer of the parties, the learned Additional District Judge, South 24-Parganans at Alipore is directed to

transfer Matrimonial Suit No.2847 of 2021 to the court of the learned District Judge, North 24 Parganas at Barasat. The learned District Judge, North 24 Parganas at Barasat, shall dispose of the suit himself or assign the matter to any competent court. The transferee court, upon receipt of the records, shall intimate the parties about the suit and the suit shall be disposed of expeditiously and in accordance with law.

The application is accordingly disposed of.

However, there will be no order as to costs.

All the parties are directed to act on the basis of the server copy of this order.
