TA No.255 of 201 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH TA No.255 of 201 Date of decision January 19, 2011 Amandeep Kaur ....... Petitioner Versus Maninder Singh ........Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. Inderjeet Singh Brar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Raman Mahajan, Advocate for the respondents. **** 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest? K. Kannan, J (oral). 1. The application for transfer is at the instance of the wife contending that the proceedings at Chandigarh initiated by the husband is creating lots of difficulties since she is a lecturer at Faridabad which is at 230 K.Ms away. The issue of convenience according to learned counsel is predominant and he refers to Veena alias Arti Vs. Pawan Kumar (P&H) 1998 (1) RCR (Civil) 558, Smt. Sonia Vs. Rajnish Kumar Arora (P&H), 1997 (2) PLR 598, Munni Kumari Vs. Shailendra Kumar Chodhary AIR 200 S.C.3565 (1), Milli Vs. Mukesh Kumar (P&H) 2005 (4) RCR (Civil) 422 and Vandana Garg Vs. Sanjay Kumar Garg 2005 (3) Civil Court Cases 528 (P&H). In my view, there must be a proper understanding to the law laid down, in these decisions. Long distance and TA No.255 of 201 2 relative inconvenience shall be considered along with other relevant facts. Counsel appearing for the husband has his own tale to tell. His contention is that the wife is a lecturer and they were got married on 2.12.2007. She had delivered a child on 5.10.2008 and barely 15 months after the birth of the child she has left the child in the house and left to her own village from her college. The child is being maintained by the father and it will be difficult for him to take the child at every hearing at a far away place. The wife herself is no novice and home struck and being a lecturer she can properly arrange to come to Chandigarh at every hearing. If convenience must be the ground for a transfer then I would put it on even scales to find out who will be more inconvenienced if a transfer is to take place. In my view, the husband with a baby in arms will be in greater difficulty to come to Faridabad by undertaking journey of 230 K.Ms from the place of residence for himself and child. Application for transfer is merit less and is dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE Jaunary 19, 2011 archana
