Mr. Sachin Chotalal Shah ..Respondent Mr.K.A.Chothani, Advocate, for the Appellant Mr.B.K.Gawali, Advocate, for the Respondent CORAM : R.C.CHAVAN, J. DATE : 6TH AUGUST, 2010 P.C. . This is an Application by wife for transfer of Petition No.P.R.284 of 2009 from the Family Court, Pune to the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Nashik since the Applicant resides at Nashik and the marriage was also solemnized at Nashik. The Applicant-wife states that she has also filed Hindu Marriage Petition No.192 of 2009 under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act before the Court of the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Nashik which is pending before the said Court. 2 MCA 44-10 2. The learned Counsel for the Respondent has serious objection. He states that the Petitioner has not been co-operating in disposal of the Petition at Pune. She has not filed Written Statement. A copy of the Petition under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act filed at Nashik has not been served upon Respondent and therefore, the Petition may not be transferred to the Court of the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Nashik. 3. Since the wife has already filed Petition which is pending before the Court of the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Nashik, it would be convenient if both the Petitions are heard by one Court. Since the Applicant-wife is staying at Nashik, Petition No. P.R.284 of 2009 which is pending before the Family Court, Pune would have to be transferred to the Court of the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Nashik for disposal according to law. The learned 3 MCA 44-10 Counsel for the Applicant states that the Applicant would file Written Statement in the Petition No. P.R.284 of 2009 within a week of its transfer to the Court of the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Nashik and would not seek any adjournment. The learned Judge shall endeavour to dispose of the Petitions as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of six months. (R.C.CHAVAN, J.)
