THIS TRANSFER PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 03/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: M.N.KRISHNAN, J ===================== Tr.P.(C) No.9 OF 2008 ===================== Dated this the 3rd day of April 2008 JUDGMENT This transfer petition is filed to transfer O.P.No.812 of 2007 pending before the Family Court, Kottayam at Ettumannoor to the Family Court, Alappuzha where O.P.No.1105 of 2007 is pending. The husband has moved an application for declaration of the marriage as null and void as O.P.No.812 of 2007 and the wife has filed an application for divorce and return of money as O.P.No.1105 of 2007 before the Family Court, Alappuzha. 2. Respondent is served. He has not entered appearance. The grounds alleged are that the transfer petitioner is a physically handicapped person and her father is a cardiac patient and the brother is only a student and therefore she finds it difficult to proceed to the Family Court at Ettumannoor. On the other hand, the husband is employed in I.S.R.O at Trivandrum. The comparative hardship is more than that of the husband. Therefore I transfer O.P.No.812 of 2007 pending before the Family Court at Ettumannoor to the Family Court at Alappuzha to be tried along with Tr.P.(C) 9/2008 -:2:- O.P.No.1105/2007. Tr.P.(C) is disposed of as above. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE Cdp/-
