THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Tr.C.M.P.No.428 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner is the wife of the respondent. Their marriage took place on 24-06-2005. In the recent past, differences have arisen between them. The respondent filed D.O.P.No.33 of 2009 in the Family Court, Kadapa, against the petitioner, under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act (for short ‘the Act’) for divorce. The petitioner seeks transfer of the same to the Family Court, Hyderabad. She contends that ever since differences have arisen with the respondent, she is residing with her parents at Hyderabad. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned counsel for the respondent. It is not in dispute that the petitioner is residing with her parents at Hyderabad, ever since differences have arisen between the parties. The place of residence of a woman spouse becomes relevant and important in choosing the forum, in matters of this nature. The difficulty to be faced by a woman to travel long distance to defend herself in the proceedings instituted by her husband is not difficult to be imagined. Hence, the Tr.C.M.P is allowed, and D.O.P.No.33 of 2009 pending in the Family Court, Kadapa, is transferred to the Family Court, Hyderabad. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.17-09-2009. KO
