Civil Judge (Sr. Divn.), Patiala to the Court of competent jurisdiction at Jalandhar. The petitioner states that she is unable to travel to Patiala as she is staying at Nakodar which is at a considerable distance from Patiala and that she is unemployed and is living with her father and cannot take this travel repeatedly as it consumes time and money. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent pleads that the proceedings at Patiala are more appropriate.
