THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Tr.C.M.P.No.139 of 2008 ORDER: The marriage between the petitioner and the respondent took place, on 14.04.2006. It was a second marriage for both of them. In the recent past, differences have risen between them and proceedings were initiated, against each other. The petitioner filed M.C.No.7 of 2008 in the Court of II Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Bheemavaram. The respondent, in turn, filed O.P.No.261 of 2007 in the Court of Senior Civil Judge, Guntur, under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act (for short ‘the Act’). The petitioner seeks transfer of the same to the Court of Senior Civil Judge, Bheemavaram. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondent. It is rather unfortunate that, even the second marriage, for both the parties, did not prove to be a successful event. The petitioner has already instituted proceedings before a Court at Bheemavaram and the respondent is defending himself in those proceedings. Further, as regards the proceedings to be instituted under the Act, the place of the residence of woman spouse becomes relevant, as is evident from Section 19(iiia) of the Act. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the Tr.C.M.P., is allowed and O.P.No.261 of 2007 pending on the file of the Principal Senior Civil Judge, Guntur (unless assigned a different number or transferred to the Family Court, Guntur), is transferred to the Court of Senior Civil Judge, Bheemavaram, West Godavari District. On such transfer, the learned Senior Civil Judge shall not insist that the respondent shall be present on every date of hearing, except where it is necessary for reconciliation or recording of evidence. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dated:11.08.2009. GJ
