IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Transfer Application No. 284 of 2009 Date of decision : December 03, 2009 Mansi Khullar ....Petitioner versus Karan Khullar ....Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice L.N. Mittal Present : Mr. Deepak Thapar, Advocate, for the petitioner None for the respondent L.N. Mittal, J. (Oral) Mansi Khullar has filed this transfer petition under section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure for transfer of petition bearing case No. HMA236/16.12.2008 under section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 filed by respondent Karan Khullar from the court of Smt. Sneh Prashar, Additional District Judge, Faridabad to court of competent jurisdiction at Patiala, alleging that the petitioner is residing in district Patiala and it is, therefore, highly inconvenient for her to defend the petition at Faridabad which is at a distance of 300 kms. from Patiala. Allegations in the petition stand un-controverted as the respondent has not put in appearance in spite of service. As per judgment of Hon'ble Apex Court, convenience of the wife has to be seen in such cases. Apparently, the petitioner residing in District Patiala cannot properly defend the petition at Faridabad. Transfer Application No. 284 of 2009 -2- In view of the aforesaid, petition no. HMA236/16.12.2008, titled “Karan Khullar versus Mansi Khullar” is transferred from the court of Smt. Sneh Prasher, Additional District Judge, (District Judge, Family Court), Faridabad to court of competent jurisdiction at Patiala. File of the case shall be sent by the trial court at Faridabad to the learned District Judge, Patiala, who shall assign the same to court of competent jurisdiction at Patiala. ( L.N. Mittal ) December 03, 2009 Judge 'dalbir'
