T.A.No.60 of 2008 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH T.A.No.60 of 2008 Date of Decision 26.11.2009 Suman ........ Petitioner Versus Gaurav Sharma ........ Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA Present: Ms.Monika Jalota, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Hemant Bassi, Advocate, for the respondent. HEMANT GUPTA, J. (ORAL) The petitioner has sought transfer of proceedings initiated under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, (for short “the Act”) pending in the Court of Additional District Judge, Kapurthala, to the court of competent jurisdiction at Ludhiana. It is the admitted fact that the petitioner has since been convicted in a case under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and she is undergoing sentence at Ludhiana. In view of the said fact and for the reason that the marriage between the parties was solemnized at Ludhaina, I deem it appropriate to transfer the matrimonial proceedings from the Court of Additional District Judge, Kapurthala, to the Court of District Judge, Ludhiana. Such procedure will facilitate the movement of the petitioner from jail to the Court as and when necessary. It shall be open to the District Judge to entrust the case to any T.A.No.60 of 2008 -2- other court of competent jurisdiction. Parties through their counsel are directed to appear before the Court of District Judge, Ludhiana, on 21.12.2009, for further proceedings in accordance with law.
