ORAL JUDGMENT .

Heard Mr H. A. Khedikar, learned Counsel for the Applicant and Ms. B. R. Hindustani, learned (appointed) Counsel for the Respondent.

2/3 33.Judg.mca.368.2025.odt 2.

By this Application, the Applicant is seeking transfer of the proceeding bearing Marriage Petition No. 91/2024 pending on the file of Civil Judge Senior Division, Palghar, District Palghar to the Family Court, Nagpur. 3.

The learned Counsel for Applicant submits that distance between Nagpur to Palghar is near about 700 kms. The Applicant is residing on the mercy of her parents and she has no source of income for her livelihood. As such, it will be difficult for her to travel such a long distance, that too, alone. In addition to above, the learned Counsel further pointed out that she has already filed one of the proceeding for maintenance before the Family Court, Nagpur and in the said proceeding Respondent is regularly appearing at Nagpur. Hence, according to the learned Counsel, no prejudice would be caused to the Respondent, if the proceedings are transferred from Palghar to Nagpur.

4.

The Respondent has strongly opposed for transfer of the proceeding, but fairly admitted the fact that he is attending one of the proceeding filed by the Applicant/wife at Nagpur. 5.

In view of above, in my opinion, considering the difficulties and inconvenience put-forth by the present Applicant in the matter, it will be

3/3 33.Judg.mca.368.2025.odt proper to transfer the proceeding from Palghar to Nagpur. In the result, I proceed to pass following order.
