TA No. 90 of 2009(O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH TA No. 90 of 2009(O&M) Decided on : 25-05-2009 Balbir Singh ....Applicant VERSUS Jaswinder Kaur ....Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present:- Mr. Saurabh Chugh, Advocate for the applicant None for the respondent MAHESH GROVER, J C.M. No. 5866-CII of 2009 C.M allowed. Annexures P-1 and P-2 are taken on record. TA No. 90 of 2009 This is an application under Section 24 CPC for transfer of petition titled as 'Jaswinder Kaur versus Balbir Singh' filed under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955, pending in the Court of District Judge, Faridkot to a Court of competent jurisdiction at Moga. Case has been called out twice. No one appears for the respondent despite service. In the absence of any denial to the averments made in the petition, the same goes uncontroverted. It is the case of the applicant that the marriage between the applicant and the respondent was solemnized 20 years back and out of the wedlock they have five children out of whom four are minor and he finds it extremely difficult in leaving the children at home to attend to the proceedings at Faridkot as he is a daily wager and doing manual labour. TA No. 90 of 2009(O&M) 2 Having regard to the aforesaid facts, as also the fact that convenience and hardship of a litigant is a good ground to transfer the proceedings, I am of the considered opinion that the present petition deserves to succeed. Accordingly, proceedings in petition titled as 'Jaswinder Kaur versus Balbir Singh' filed under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955, pending in the Court of District Judge, Faridkot are transferred to a Court of competent jurisdiction at Moga. Petition stands allowed. The Court at Moga shall issue notice to the parties for appearance after receipt of the case on transfer May 25, 2009 (Mahesh Grover) rekha Judge
