THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Tr.C.M.P. No.616 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is the wife of the respondent. Their marriage took place in the year 2006. The petitioner states that the respondent and his mother have driven her out, in November, 2007, on the ground that she did not bring additional dowry. The petitioner states that she is residing in the house of her parents at Hyderabad. The respondent filed F.C.O.P.No.127 of 2010 against the petitioner, in the Family Court, Warangal, under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, for divorce. The petitioner seeks transfer of the same to the Family Court, at Hyderabad. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondent. It is not in dispute that the petitioner is residing at Hyderabad, since November, 2007. Irrespective of the reasons mentioned by the respondent, while seeking divorce, the place of residence of a woman spouse becomes relevant, in choosing the forum. Prior to her marriage, the petitioner is a native of Hyderabad. She did not live for any considerable period at Warangal, and for the past four years, she is residing at Hyderabad. It would naturally be difficult for her to defend the proceedings in the Family Court, at Warangal. Hence, the Tr.C.M.P. is allowed, and F.C.O.P.No.127 of 2010 is transferred from the Family Court, Warangal to the Family Court Hyderabad. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.30-04-2011. KO
