Civil Revision No.7113 of 2009 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, at Chandigarh. Civil Revision No.7113 of 2009 Date of Decision: 15.7.2010 Rajesh Sabharwal …Petitioner Versus Ritu …Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. Present: Mr. Mansur Ali, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Harmandeep Singh, Advocate for the respondent. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) In the present revision petition, challenge is to order dated 28.10.2009, passed by the Court of Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), S.A.S. Nagar, Mohali. The respondent-mother had filed a petition under Sections 7 and 25 of the Guardian and Wards Act, 1890, seeking custody of the child, which is at present with the petitioner-father. The trial Court held that whether the Court at S.A.S. Nagar, Mohali, has a jurisdiction or not is a mixed question of law and facts. The impugned order was passed by the trial Court in the month of October 2009. A period of more than nine months are going to elapse. The interest of the child is a paramount consideration for the Civil Revision No.7113 of 2009 2 Court. During the course of arguments, learned counsel for the respondent has submitted that to blunt the technical argument of jurisdiction, so that the respondent-mother is not deprived of the care and affection of the child, he will readily agree that the petition be transferred to the Court of competent jurisdiction at Chandigarh. Therefore, after hearing learned counsel for the parties, this Court is of the view that it would be in the interest of justice, if petition for custody of the child, pending in the Court of Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), S.A.S. Nagar, Mohali, is transferred to the Court of competent jurisdiction at Chandigarh. The District Judge, Chandigarh, shall assign the said petition to an appropriate Court, which shall make all out efforts to decide the same, expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four months. With the observations made above, the present revision petition is disposed of. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge July 15, 2010 “DK”
