Mr.PK Kataria, Advocate for the respondent. ***** Jitendra Chauhan, J.(Oral) 1. The present petition has been preferred by the petitioner- husband, under Section 407 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, praying for the transfer of the Appeal No.14/11 dated 4.3.2011, titled as ‘Gurmeet Singh Lamba vs. Rabinder Kaur’, arising out of complaint under Domestic Violence Act, filed by him, from the Court of learned Additional Sessions Judge, Amritsar to any other court of competent jurisdiction at any other place. 2. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. 3. The perusal of the case file reveals that a child was born out of CRM No.M 32484 of 2011 2 the wedlock, who is presently in the custody of the respondent-wife. The respondent is attending the Court at Amritsar, in a case filed under Section 125 of Cr.P.C. by the respondent -wife. Earlier, the petitioner had been appearing regularly in case filed under Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, at Amritsar, against which the appeal Annexure P- 2 has been filed. If there had been any threat, he would have lodged the FIR. There is no complaint or any FIR against the respondent wife. Respondent-wife has been ousted from her matrimonial home. Now she is residing at the mercy of her parents at Amritsar. 4. In view of the above, prima facie, there is no ground to transfer the case from Amritsar to any other place. Accordingly, the present petition is dismissed being bereft of any merit. 20.12.2011 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) gsv JUDGE
