BHANU TRANSFER CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS PETITION NO.271 OF 2010 O R D E R: This Transfer Civil Miscellaneous Petition, under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, is filed to withdraw O.P.No.334 of 2010 on the file of the Principal District Judge, West Godavari District, Eluru, and transfer the same to the Court of Principal District Judge, East Godavari District, Rajahmundry. 2. Heard. 3. Petitioner herein is the wife of respondent herein. The respondent filed O.P.No.334 of 2010 on the file of the Principal District Judge, West Godavari District, Eluru under Section 10 of the Indian Divorce Act for dissolution of marriage on the ground of cruelty. The petitioner filed M.C.No.17 of 2008 on the file of the Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Razole, East Godavari District for maintenance and in the said M.C., she filed Crl.M.P.No.199 of 2010 for issuance of warrant in the event of non-payment of the maintenance amount and as the respondent is avoiding the summons, a Commissioner was appointed to serve the notice. 4. Balance of convenience is one of the criteria for effecting transfer of a case from one Court to another. It must relate to convenience of both the parties. Section 24 C.P.C. enables a High Court or a District Court to transfer or withdraw any suit, appeal or other proceeding pending before it or in any Court subordinate to it. This Court has to see whether such a transfer would cause any inconvenience to both the parties. 5. Admittedly, no cases are pending between the parties herein in the Courts at Rajahmundry. If the case is transferred to the Court of Principal District Judge, Rajahmundry, it will cause inconvenience to respondent. Therefore, there are no grounds to transfer the O.P. and the petition is liable to be dismissed. 6. Accordingly, the Transfer Civil Miscellaneous Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ K.C.BHANU, J AUGUST 30, 2011. AMD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU TRANSFER CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS PETITION NO.271 OF 2010 Date:30.08.2011 AMD
