T.A.No.152 of 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH T.A.No.152 of 2009. Decided on August 12, 2009. Rajbala .. Petitioner VERSUS Harbans Singh .. Respondent * * * CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI PRESENT Mr.Vikram Sheoran, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Ashok Giri, Advocate, for the respondent. M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Efforts have been made for reconciliation. There does not appear to be any chance of reconciliation, at this stage. This order will dispose of an application under Section 24, CPC, for transfer of the divorce petition filed by the respondent from Kaithal to Jind, on the ground that the petitioner is residing at Jind. This application has been seriously opposed by counsel for the respondent. He submits that petitioner is involved in . . . 1 T.A.No.152 of 2009 some criminal cases and for attending the hearing in one of such case, she has to go to Kaithal, as such, it is not of much inconvenience to the petitioner to contest the divorce petition filed by the respondent-husband. I have heard counsel for the petitioner as well as counsel for the respondent. Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner is residing at Jind, even if there is any other litigation, at present, pending at Jind, it will inconvenient for her to contest the divorce petition filed by her husband at Kaithal. Even otherwise, the distance between Jind and Kaithal is about 60/70 kilometres. Keeping in view the comparative convenience of both the parties, it is ordered that the divorce petition titled 'Harbans Singh Vs. Rajbala', pending in the Court of Additional District Judge, Kaithal, will be transferred to the Court of District Judge, Jind. However, District Judge, Jind, will be at liberty to either keep the case with him for adjudication or to entrust the same to any other Additional District Judge at Jind. File of the case, complete in all respects, will be sent by Additional District Judge, Kaithal to District Judge, Jind. Parties are directed to appear before the District Judge, Jind, on 19.09.2009. Allowed. (M.M.S.BEDI) JUDGE August 12, 2009. rka . . . 2 T.A.No.152 of 2009 . . . 3
