RAJEEV NAGAR, TOWN & DISTRICT- PATNA Versus AJAY KUMAR THAKUR SON OF RAM BILAS THAKUR, RESIDENT OF MOHALLA- MUGALPURA, P.S. LAHERIASARAI, DISTRICT- DARBHANGA ----------- 4 09.12.2010 Heard learned counsels for the petitioner and the respondent. This application is for transfer of the Matrimonial (Divorce) Case No. 31 of 2010 from the Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Darbhanga to the Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Patna. The learned counsel for the petitioner, in support of the application for transfer, has stated in paragraph 6 of the petition that petitioner has joined as Teacher in one of the school at Patna, as detailed in the said paragraph. It is also stated that it will be much inconvenient and costly as well for the petitioner to appear in the aforesaid divorce case on each and every date at Darbhanga, more so, she is not receiving any financial support. Learned counsel for the respondent opposes the prayer and submits that the present transfer application has been filed with the only object to harass the respondent as the petitioner of this case for harassing him has filed several applications with various allegations, however, those allegations were found not correct and ultimately this application has been filed to further harass him. The allegations of respondent have been denied by the petitioner who in her support submits that in the matter of transfer, the convenience of the wife should have precedence, and as such, since the petitioner is residing at Patna and earning her livelihood as a Teacher in a school at Patna, the prayer of the petitioner for transfer deserves to be allowed. Considering the submissions of the parties and the grounds stated specially in paragraph 6 of the petition is not denied on behalf of the respondent that petitioner is earning her livelihood at Patna and residing there as well, the aforesaid Matrimonial (Divorce) Case No. 31 of 2010 pending in the Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Darbhanga be transferred to the Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Patna within a period of one month on receipt/production of the certified copy of the present order.
