BASANT, J. ----------------------------------------------- Tr.P.(Crl). No. 32 OF 2008 ----------------------------------------------- Dated this the 16th day of June, 2008 O R D E R There is no representation for the petitioner. The petitioner, an advocate himself, prays for transfer of a claim of maintenance pending before the Family Court, Malappuram. Claimant is none other than the father of the petitioner herein. The father, the claimant, was also an advocate. It is submitted that the continuation of the proceedings before the Family Court would cause great inconvenience and difficulties to both the claimant and the respondent. 2. The 1st respondent/claimant has entered appearance. The application is opposed. It is contended that the transfer of the case from the Family Court, Malappuram to the Family Court, Kozhikode as prayed for would cause great hardship and difficulties to the 1st respondent/claimant. 3. I have considered all the relevant inputs. I take note of the fact that the claimant is a 77 year old person. The learned Judge of the Family Court has evidently not expressed any embarrassment or difficulties to dispose of the case. I am, in Tr.P.(Crl) No. 32 OF 2008 2 these circumstances, satisfied - primarily considering the age of the claimant/1st respondent - that no transfer need be directed as prayed for. 4. This Tr.P(Crl) is, in these circumstances, dismissed. R. BASANT, JUDGE ttb Tr.P.(Crl) No. 32 OF 2008 3 Tr.P.(Crl) No. 32 OF 2008 4
