THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Tr.C.M.P. No.91 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is the wife of the respondent. Their marriage took place on 17-12-2003, at Vijayawada. In the recent past, differences have arisen between them. The respondent is employed at Hyderabad, and the petitioner is living with her parents, at Vijayawada. The respondent filed O.P.No.111 of 2010 in the Family Court, Ranga Reddy District, under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act against the petitioner. This Tr.C.M.P. is filed with a prayer to transfer the O.P. to the Family Court, Vijayawada. The petitioner contends that it is difficult and unsafe for her to appear in the Family Court, Ranga Reddy District. The application is opposed by the respondent. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned counsel for the respondent. Even from the description of the parties in the O.P., it is evident that the petitioner is shown as resident of Vijayawada. The place of residence of a woman spouse becomes relevant, for choosing the forum, for institution of proceedings, be it, for restitution of conjugal rights, etc. Learned counsel for the respondent states that it would be difficult for the respondent to secure leaves, and it is only on Saturdays, that he can appear in the Family Court. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the Tr.C.M.P. is allowed, and O.P.No.111 of 2010 is transferred from the Family Court, Ranga Reddy District, to the Family Court, Vijayawada. In case the Family Court at Vijayawada functions on Saturdays, it shall consider the feasibility of posting the matter on Saturdays, to enable the respondent to attend. Further, his appearance shall not be insisted, unless it is needed for any specific step, in the proceedings. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J.
