The petitioner-wife is seeking transfer of divorce petition filed by respondent-husband, against her before the learned District Judge, Kapurthala, to some competent Court at Ludhiana. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner the wife is residing at her parental home at Ludhiana, at their mercy, and it is not possible for her to go to Kapurthala on each and every date of hearing, especially when she has no source of income. The prayer has been opposed. The perusal of paper book reveals that the respondent is appearing in the Court at Ludhiana where the proceedings in the case filed by the petitioner under the Domestic Violence Act, are going on. In this view of the matter, he can very well pursue his petition under Section 12 of Hindu Marriage Act at Ludhiana. For the reasons aforesaid, the instant petition is allowed and the petition under Section 12 of the Hindu Marriage Act, pending between the parties, before learned District Judge, Kapurthala is ordered to be transferred to the Court of learned District Judge, Ludhiana, who is at Transfer Application No. 341 of 2011 2 liberty to keep the case in his own Court or to assign the same to any other competent Court. Learned District Judge, Kapurthala shall give a suitable date to the parties to enable them to appear before the transferee Court at Ludhiana. (ARVIND KUMAR) JUDGE August 8,2011 Jiten
