This petition has been filed under Section 24 CPC by wife seeking to transfer the petition under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, (for short ‘the Act’) filed by her husband at Phillaur to the competent Court at Chandigarh on the ground of convenience. It is claimed by the petitioner T.A. No. 414 of 2008 [2] that there is no one in the family to accompany her to contest the petition under Section 9 of the Act at Phillaur. Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner alongwith her child is staying in Chandigarh, it will be inconvenient for her to visit Phillaur to contest the claim of the respondent, in the interest of justice it is ordered that the petition under Section 9 of the Act titled Parveen Kumar Momi Vs. Monika pending in the Court of Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Phillaur, be transferred to the competent Court at Chandigarh. File complete in all respects is ordered to be sent to the District Judge, Chandigarh for entrustment of the same to the Court of appropriate jurisdiction. Let the file be sent to the Court of District Judge, Chandigarh on or before October 3, 2009. Counsel for the petitioner informs that September 4, 2009 is the next date of hearing before the Lower Court. Since the respondent has opted not to appear before this Court and he has been proceeded against ex-parte, let a copy of the order be sent to the Presiding Officer at Phillaur. On September 4, 2009, Parveen Kumar Momi, who is ex-parte before this Court, will be intimated about the order. Thereafter he will appear before the transferee Court on October 3, 2009. Disposed of.
