JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr. Vishal Sharma, Advocate for the applicant. Mr. Arjun Pratap Atma Ram, Advocate, for the respondent. JITENDRA CHAUHAN, J. (Oral) 1. The present application has been preferred by the applicant- wife, under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure, praying for the transfer of the petition titled as ‘Simple Aggarwal Vs. Deepak Aggarwal’, filed by the respondent under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (for short `the Act'), from the Court of learned District Judge, Ludhiana, to the Court of competent jurisdiction at Amritsar. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 3. The transfer of the divorce petition has been sought on the TA No.451 of 2010 2 grounds that the two children born out of the wedlock between the parties are residing with the applicant. The distance between the two stations is more than 180 kms. and it would be difficult for the applicant to attend the Court proceedings at Ludhiana. 4. On the other hand, reply has been filed on behalf of the respondent averring therein that the children of the parties are residing at Ludhiana along with the respondent-husband. The applicant had earlier filed application before the learned Additional District Judge, Ludhiana, seeking directions to the respondent-husband to allow her to meet the minor children in the Court. 5. In view of the above, this Court is of the considered opinion that it is not a fit case where the transfer of the divorce petition may be allowed. Accordingly, the present application is dismissed. 6. However, the applicant shall be entitled to the travelling expenses which is quantified to `1,500/- per visit to Ludhiana with regard to the petition under Section 13 of the Act filed by the respondent-husband. 21.12.2011 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) atulsethi JUDGE Note : Whether to be referred to Reporter ?
