T.A No.338 of 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH T.A No.338 of 2009 Date of Decision: 02.12.2009 Balwinder Kaur .……Petitioner Versus Budh Ram @ Shammi ……Respondent Coram:- HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL. Present: Mr. Hitesh Sood, Advocate for Mr. Rahul Rampal, Advocate for the petitioner. L. N. MITTAL, J (ORAL) None is appearing for the respondent in spite of service. Petitioner is present in person in the Court pursuant to order of the preceding date. Heard. File perused. Balwinder Kaur has filed this transfer petition under Section 24 read with Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure (in short, C.P.C) for transfer of petition under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 instituted by respondent-Budh Ram alias Shammi from the Court of Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Anandpur Sahib to the Court of competent jurisdiction at Ludhiana. It is alleged in the application that petitioner is residing at Ludhiana along with minor son aged about 1 ½ years borne out of the wed-lock between the parties and, therefore, it is highly inconvenient for her to go to Anandpur Sahib to defend the aforesaid T.A No.338 of 2009 -2- petition because distance between Ananpur Sahib and Ludhiana is more than 120 Kms. The aforesaid plea of the petitioner stands uncontroverted. In view of the aforesaid and also in view of judgments of Hon’ble Apex Court that matrimonial proceedings should be transferred to the place convenient to the wife, the instant petition is allowed and petition titled as ‘Budh Ram @ Shammi versus Balwinder Kaur’ filed under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 pending in the Court of Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Anandpur Sahib is transferred to the Court of competent jurisdiction at Ludhiana. File of the petition shall be sent by the Trial Court at Anandpur Sahib to learned District Judge, Ludhiana, who shall assign the same to any Court of competent jurisdiction at Ludhiana. ( L. N. MITTAL ) JUDGE 02.12.2009 A. Kaundal
