Paramjit Kaur” under section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act,1955 ,(for short the 'Act') pending in the court of Additional Civil Judge (Sr. Division), Bhatinda to the court of competent jurisdiction at Ludhiana. Learned counsel for the applicant-wife submits that marriage between the parties was solemnized on 24.11.2010 and the applicant was subjected to harassment and maltreatment for bringing insufficient dowry. A panchayat was convened but the respondent refused to rehabilitate the applicant in his house. She is residing with her parents at Ludhiana since March,2011. He submitted that the brothers of the applicant are residing separately and old parents are not able to accompany her to Bhatinda to defend her case. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent-husband T.A.No. 315 of 2011 2 denied the allegations and submitted that the applicant-wife lived with the respondent only for eight days after the marriage and she left the matrimonial home at her own choice. He further submits that the marriage of the parties has not consummated, as the wife has not cohabited with the husband. Keeping in view the short duration of the matrimonial life of the parties and in order to resolve the dispute, the parties were heard in person. Having heard the parties in person and without going into the merits of the case, it is ordered that it is not a fit case to allow the transfer application filed by the wife. This petition is accordingly dismissed. (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) JUDGE 5.8.2011 MS
