TA No. 401 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH TA No. 401 of 2010 Date of decision January 17, 2011 Pooja Rani ....... Appellant Versus Prem Kumar Chhabra ........Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. Sham Lal Bhall, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R. S. Sidhu, Advocate for the respondent. **** K. Kannan, J (oral). 1. The application for transfer is by the wife on the ground that she has a small child and she has to travel 115 K.Ms to the Court where the proceedings are now pending which have been initiated at the instance of the husband. A place of 115 K.Ms is not formidable for a person to reach and she will have the benefit of escort for the every effective date of hearing when she appears and she shall be paid Rs.500/- towards travelling and other expenses for herself and her escort. This will be exclusive of any interim maintenance that the Court may grant, if she moves any application before the Court in the matrimonial proceeding. Learned counsel also states that she has already filed the petition for maintenance under Section 125 and is pending at Malout. If there is any family Court or a Court of competent jurisdiction at Malout I would have been inclined to transfer the proceedings. Since claimant has to prosecute independent proceedings at another Court of competent jurisdiction at another place, the pendency of Section 125 shall not be taken as material TA No. 401 of 2010 2 for consideration of transfer application. The transfer application is therefore dismissed subject to the above directions as regards for travelling and other expenses. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE January 17, 2011 archana
