IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Transfer Application No. 421 of 2009 Date of decision : December 03, 2009 Dr. Charanjit Kaur ....Petitioner versus Jagroop Singh Virk ....Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice L.N. Mittal Present : Ms. Rupinder Kaur Thind, Advocate, for the petitioner Ms. Promila Nain, Advocate, for the respondent L.N. Mittal, J. (Oral) Dr. Charanjit Kaur has filed this transfer petition under section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure for transfer of divorce petition filed by respondent Jagroop Singh Virk from the court of District Judge, Panchkula to the court of District Judge, Chandigarh or Mohali, alleging that the petitioner is dependent on his close relatives residing at Chandigarh and it is inconvenient for the petitioner to defend the divorce petition at Panchkula because the petitioner also has three years son with her and she has no brother whereas her father is very old. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. The respondent is permanent resident of Panchkula but in the divorce petition Annexure P/1, the petitioner has mentioned that presently Transfer Application No. 421 of 2009 -2- he is residing at Patiala. Accordingly, it will be equally convenient for the respondent as well if the divorce petition is transferred to Chandigarh. Convenience of the wife has to be seen in such cases. In view of the aforesaid, the instant petition is allowed and divorce petition titled “Jagroop Singh Virk versus Dr. Charanjit Kaur” is transferred from the court of learned District Judge, Panchkula to the court of learned District Judge, Chandigarh, who shall be at liberty to keep the case with himself or to assign the same to any Additional District Judge at Chandigarh. Parties are directed to appear before the learned District Judge, Chandigarh on 11.1.2010. ( L.N. Mittal ) December 03, 2009 Judge 'dalbir'
