CMPMO 80 of 2008. 15.10.2008 Present: Mr. Baldev Singh, counsel for the petitioner. Mr. Bimal Gupta and Karan Singh, Advocates, counsel for the respondent. This petition has been filed by the petitioner wife praying for transfer of proceedings instituted against her by the respondent-husband seeking a decree for divorce on the grounds as specified therein. The petitioner seeks transfer of H.M.Misc Petition No. 4-D/111=07 pending before the Additional District Judge, Fast Track Court, Kangra at Dharamsala to Una. One of the grounds urged by learned counsel for the petitioner is that both the parties are permanent resident of Una and that the Court at Dharamsala has no jurisdiction to entertain this petition. The request for transfer cannot be entertained at this stage. It will be open to the petitioner herein to urge that the Court at Dharamsala does not have territorial or inherent jurisdiction to try the case. As and when such an objection is taken, it can, of course be, treated as a preliminary issue. It is undisputed before me that the wife is residing at Una and that the husband is working in Jammu and Kashmir. There is no merit in this -2- petition which is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. Pending application(s) shall stand dismissed. October 15, 2008 (PC). (Dev Darshan Sud), J.
