The present is a petition for transfer of Matrimonial Suit No.386-A/2009 pending in the Family Court, Durg to the Court of competent jurisdiction at Bilaspur. 3. The ground for seeking transfer is the apprehended threatening and criminal intimidation by the respondent when the petitioner goes to attend the hearing at Durg. It is also put-forth that her father is not well and there is no other member in the family to accompany the petitioner to Durg. 4. . On perusal of the medical certificate, it would appear that the petitioner's father has been advised only for fifteen days' rest from i 30th September, 2010. According to the respondent, the petitioner's tbrother Yogesh is also there in the family to assist the petitioner, ^y^ ^ 4i.^:^'^'i^& M 'S^:@K.^^^, M ":!SSS3^'a-9 9 %. '{^ however, learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner's brother Yogesh is residing separately. 5. Be that as it may, this Court is not satisfied that the petitioner has been able to make out a ground for transfer of the matrimonial suit from Durg to Bilaspur, however, learned counsel for the petitioner has vehemently urged that the apprehension of criminal intimidation by the respondent is bona fide and some protection should be provided to the petitioner whenever she visits Durg for attending the hearing in the Court. It is the duty of the law enforcing agency to protect the citizen. If the petitioner approaches the concerned Mahila Thana at Durg on the dates of hearing, it is expected of the concerned Station House Officer to provide due assistance and protection to the petitioner in attending the hearing in the Court at Durg. 6. With the aforesaid observation, the instant transfer petition for transfer of the matrimonial suit is dismiss^c.^._ \: Sd/- • Prashant Kumar Mishra !e Gopat
