Mr. A.G. Mulange, Advocate h/f Mr. F.K. Patel, Advocate for Applicant Mr. R.T. Kotali, Advocate for Respondent (Through V.C.) ....
CORAM : ABHAY J. MANTRI, J.
DATE : 30th APRIL, 2026 PER COURT :
1.
The Applicant seeks transfer of the divorce proceeding, bearing Marriage Petition No. 478 of 2024 pending before the learned C.J.S.D., Pune, to the Family Court, Latur.
2.
Heard learned counsel for both parties and perused the record. 3.
It appears that the Applicant is residing at Latur and she has filed a proceeding under Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code, and the same is pending before the learned J.M.F.C., Latur. It further appears that Pune is 350 kms. away from Latur, and therefore, it is contended that it would cause inconvenience to her to travel and attend the proceedings at Pune. She also lost her father. Apart from that, it is contended that she does not have a source 1 / 3
of income, as she has left practice, and therefore, she is unable to bear the financial burden and attend the proceedings in Pune. 4.
On the other hand, the Respondent, by filing an affidavit-in-reply, contended that the old-aged parents are living with him and they are having medical problems. His father is suffering from heart disease and has undergone angioplasty surgery. Therefore, he has to take care of them. As such, it is inconvenient for him to attend the proceedings at Latur. But, he is ready to pay the travelling and other expenses to the Applicant if the Applicant is ready to attend the proceeding at Pune. Therefore, he urged the dismissal of the Application.
5.
Having considered the above contentions and facts of the case, it is revealed that the Applicant has no income source, and therefore, it is inconvenient for her to travel and attend the proceedings at Pune. It apparently indicates that she will have to endure hardship and suffering. Moreover, having considered the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in a catena of judgments and also in N.C.V. Aishwarya Versus A. S. Saravana Karthik Sha, AIR Online 2022 SC 1268, in my opinion, it would be appropriate to transfer the proceeding, i.e. Marriage Petition No. 478 of 2024 pending before the learned C.J.S.D., Pune, to the Family Court, Latur. 2 / 3
6.
As a result, the Miscellaneous Civil Application is allowed in terms of the prayer clause (A).
7.
The Application is disposed of.
8.
Needless to clarify that if the Respondent has moved an application before the learned Family Court, Latur, for permitting him to appear through V.C. mode, then the learned Court may consider the said application positively.
