T.A. No.389 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH T.A. No.389 of 2010 Date of Decision. 12.01.2011 Gurpreet Kaur @ Noni wife of Sarban Kumar daughter of Sh. Nachhatar Singh resident of village Salempur Jattan, Tehsil Rajpura, District Patiala ......Petitioner Versus Sarban Kumar son of Chandan Ram, resident of village and post office Katlehri, Tehsil Thanesar, District Kurukshetra ......Respondent Present: Mr. A.G.S. Dhillon, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gautam Kaile, Advocate for the respondent. CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? No 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? No 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? No -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. The Application for transfer is filed on the ground that the Court is situate 100 kms away from the place of residence of the applicant and that she has filed a petition for maintenance at Rajpura, District Patiala, where she is now residing. Learned counsel for the respondent states that the petition for maintenance itself has been filed only subsequent to the filing of the petition for restitution of conjugal rights by the husband. I do not think that for a place of just 100 kms away, petition for transfer should be filed. The applicant contends that she has not been provided for any resources of her maintenance. It shall be open to her to apply for the maintenance T.A. No.389 of 2010 -2- before the Court where the petition for restitution is pending and the court shall pass an order even before calling upon the wife to file a reply. Over and above any amount that the Court shall consider as appropriate for maintenance, the husband shall pay Rs.500/- on every effective date of hearing when the party appears in Court. This shall be to meet the travel and other incidental expenses from her place of residence to Court. 2. Subject to these observations, the application for transfer is dismissed.
