ADV. SRI.P.M.HABEEB FOR R1 THIS TRANSFER PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 03/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: K.T.SANKARAN, J. ------------------------------------ Tr.P.(C).No.393 of 2010 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 3rd day of February, 2011 O R D E R This Transfer Petition is filed by the wife of the respondent seeking to transfer O.P.No.823 of 2010 pending before the Family court, Kozhikode to the Family Court, Kannur. 2. The marriage between the parties took place at Thalassery within the jurisdiction of the Family Court, Kannur. The petitioner states that it would be highly inconvenient for her to travel from Thalassery to Kozhikode to attend the Family Court at Kozhikode. The respondent is residing at Vadakara and it is submitted that the respondent would not find any difficulty to attend the Family Court, Kozhikode or the Family Court, Kannur since Tr.P.(C) No.393/2010 2 the distance from Vadakara to these Family Courts is almost equal. 3. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the respondent that Family Courts have been established at Thalassery as well as Vadakara recently and therefore, even if the Court finds that the matter requires transfer, the case can be transferred either to the Family Court, Vadakara or to the Family Court, Thalassery. 4. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case, I think it would be ideal for both parties if the case is transferred from the Family Court, Kozhikode to the Family Court, Thalassery. No prejudice would be caused to the respondent if the case is tried by the Family Court, Thalassery. Accordingly, O.P.No.823 of 2010 pending before the Tr.P.(C) No.393/2010 3 Family Court, Kozhikode, shall stand transferred to the Family Court, Thalassery. The Family Court, Kozhikode shall transmit the records to the Family Court, Thalassery. The parties shall appear before the Family Court, Thalassery on 14th March, 2011. K.T.SANKARAN JUDGE csl
