IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CMPMO No. 231 of 2011 Decided on: 13.07.2011 Seema Thakur …Petitioner. Versus Jitender Thakur …Respondent. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Deepak Gupta, J. Whether approved for reporting?1 No. For the petitioner: Mr. M.S. Thakur, Advocate. Deepak Gupta, J. (Oral) By means of this petition the petitioner has prayed for transfer of proceedings in Hindu Marriage Petition No. 10 FTC/3 of 2011 titled as Jitender Thakur versus Seema Thakur pending in the Court of Additional District Judge (Fast Track Court) Solan to any court at Shimla. 2. The only ground for transfer is that a petition under Section 125 Cr.P.C. for maintenance has been filed by the petitioner in Shimla and that the husband has not paid any amount to the wife in terms of the orders passed by the JMIC. Shimla is only 42 kilometers from Solan and it barely takes an hour to travel by bus from Shimla to Solan. Therefore, there is 1 Whether the reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the Judgment? Yes. -: 2 :- no need for transfer of the case to Shimla. However, the grievance of the petitioner that she has not been paid the maintenance awarded to her under Section 125 Cr.P.C. is a genuine ground and she can apply to the learned trial Court at Solan for ensuring that not only her maintenance is paid but she is also paid some expenses for each visit to the Court in view of the law already laid down by this Court. 3. It is made clear that in case, the husband fails to pay the maintenance or compensate the wife for her appearance in Court by paying her the expenses for travelling to Solan etc., the wife shall be free to approach this Court again for transfer of the case. 4. With these observations, the petition is dismissed. No costs. (Deepak Gupta) Judge July 13, 2011 (rajni)
