Petitioner Versus Manoj Yadav .... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL. Present: Mr. Arun Yadav, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. J. L. Malhotra, Advocate for the respondent. * * * * L.N.MITTAL, J. (ORAL) Bindia Yadav has filed instant transfer petition under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure for transfer of divorce petition filed by her husband Manoj Yadav respondent herein, from the Court at Panchkula to the Court at Rewari. The petitioner has alleged that she is resident of District Rewari and, therefore, it is highly inconvenient for her to defend the divorce petition at Panchkula, which is at a distance of about 350 kilometers from the petitioner's place of residence. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. In such cases, convenience of the wife has to be seen unless there is some special reason to decline the prayer of the wife. In the instant case, Transfer Application No.498 of 2011 -2- petitioner's place of residence is about 350 Kilometers from Panchkula, where the divorce petition is pending and, therefore, it is highly inconvenient and difficult for the petitioner to defend the divorce petition at panchkula. In view of the aforesaid, the instant transfer petition is allowed. Divorce petition titled as Manoj Yadav versus Bindia Yadav (Annexure P-1) is withdrawn from the court of Mr. Subhas Mehla, Additional District Judge, Panchkula and is transferred to the Court of competent jurisdiction at Rewari. File of the divorce petition shall be sent by the transferor Court to learned District Judge, Rewari, who shall either keep the divorce petition with herself or assign it to some other Court of competent jurisdiction at Rewari. Parties are directed to appear before the District Judge, Rewari on 09.11.2011. ( L. N. MITTAL ) JUDGE 3rd October, 2011 'raj'
