IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2096 of 2008 REKHA DEVI,wife of Nitesh Kumar Rai, D/O Madhav Rai, R/O vill.Dhanchuhan, P.S. Chauri, District-Bhojpur. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR,through Home Secretary, Bihar, Patna. 2. Nitesh Kumar Rai, s/o late Jagdish Rai, R/O vill.Pipradh,P.S. Rajpur, District- Buxar. ----------- 4. 15.9.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. No one appears for the opposite party No.2, although the notice was served upon him and he has also entered appearance by filing vakalatnama. The petitioner seeks transfer of Divorce Case No.106 of 2007 filed by opposite party No.2, husband of the petitioner from the Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Buxar to the Family Court at Ara. It is stated that after the marriage between the petitioner and opposite party No.2 on 27.5.2005, she remained in the matrimonial house for about two years, but subsequently she was thrown out by opposite party No.2 from her matrimonial home and is now residing at her village home in Bhojpur District with her father. It is further submitted that the petitioner has also filed 2 Maintenance Case No. 125 of 2007, which is pending in the Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Bhojpur at Ara in which opposite party No.2 is also appearing. It is further submitted that Ara Nawada P.S. Case No.5 of 2008 has also been filed by the petitioner against the opposite party No.2 under Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code and opposite party No.2 is appearing in the Civil Court at Ara in that case also. It is further submitted that the petitioner has no income of her own and she is totally dependent on her father, who is an old person and sugar patient and has recently undergone operation. The distance of Buxar, which is about 120 K.M. from her father’s home, would put her to serious inconvenience making it difficult for her to defend the case effectively before the Family Court at Buxar. In the above circumstances, it is evident that the petitioner, being a lady totally dependent on her father, would face serious difficulty in pursuing the divorce case at Buxar. In such cases, it is generally held by this Court that inconvenience caused 3 to the wife in going to another place for pursuing the case is much more than that caused to the husband, if he has to go to another place for fighting the litigations. Accordingly, it is directed that Divorce Case No.106/2007 shall stand transferred from the Court of the Principal Judge, Family Court, Buxar to the Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Bhojpur at Ara. The transfer application is, accordingly, allowed. VPS ( Ramesh Kumar Datta, J.)
