IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Transfer Application No. 137 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: 13.10.2010 Amritjot Kaur ... Applicant v. Abhineet Singh .. Respondent. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. M. K. Singla, Advocate for the applicant. Mr. J. S. Thind, Advocate for the respondent. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Prayer in the application is for transfer of the divorce petition filed by the respondent-husband at Mohali to Sangrur. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that even in the divorce petition filed by the respondent-husband, it has been mentioned that the applicant is not mentally stable. Many a times, she is totally blank and does not even know what is going on in the family. Considering the allegations of the respondent himself in the divorce petition, it is difficult for the applicant to travel from Sunam, where she is residing with her parents, to Mohali. The prayer is for transfer of the petition to Sangrur. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent submitted that he has been cheated by the applicant and her family members by not disclosing the factum of her being mentally ill. She should not be given benefit of her own wrong. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and also considering the fact that the applicant is stated to be mentally ill, which is claimed to be one of the grounds for seeking divorce, in my opinion, it would be appropriate if the divorce petition filed by the respondent-husband at Mohali is transferred to Sangrur. Let the parties appear before District Judge, Sangrur on 30.10.2010 for further proceedings. District Judge, Sangrur may either keep the petition with him or entrust the same to any other competent court. The application stands disposed of. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 13.10.2010 mk
