THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Tr.C.M.P.No.265 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner is the wife of the respondent. Their marriage took place, on 18.06.2003. Differences arose between them, after they lived together for about 2 years. The petitioner filed M.C.No.28 of 2006 in the Court of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Narasapuram, against the respondent, for maintenance. In addition to that, C.C.No.229 of 2007 was registered in the same Court, on a complaint submitted by the petitioner, against the respondent and others, under Section 498-A I.P.C. The respondent filed H.M.O.P.No.7 of 2009 in the Court of Principal Senior Civil Judge, Anakapalli, against the petitioner, under Section 15 of the Hindu Marriage Act, (for short ‘the Act’). This Tr.C.M.P., is filed with a prayer to withdraw O.P.No.7 of 2009 from the Principal Senior Civil Judge, Anakapalli, and transfer the same to the Court of Senior Civil Judge, Narsapur. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondent. The respondent is already attending the Court of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Narsapuram, to defend himself in various proceedings. At least from the year 2006 onwards, the petitioner is residing at Lakshmaneshwaram Village, Narasapuram Mandal, along with her parents. Hence, there was no justification for the respondent to institute the proceedings under Section 13 of the Act in the Court at Anakapalli. The place of residence of a woman spouse becomes relevant in this regard. Therefore, the Tr.C.M.P., is allowed, and O.P.No.7 of 2009 is transferred from the Court of Principal Senior Civil Judge, Anakapalli, to the Court of Senior Civil Judge, Narasapuram. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dated:15.10.2009 GJ
