1 CA 31/2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION MISC.CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 31 OF 2010 Mrs.Deepali Yogesh Ghorpade ...Applicant vs. Mr.Yogesh Baburao Ghorpade ...Respondent Mr.Amit Sale for the Applicant. Mr.KJedar Dighe for the Respondent. CORAM : J.H. BHATIA, J. DATED : SEPTEMBER 7, 2010 P.C. :- 1 Heard the learned Counsel for the parties. 2 The respondent-husband has filed the marriage petition No.1152/2009 before the Family court, Pune, for divorce. The applicant seeks that the petition be transferred to Nashik on the ground that it is very difficult for her to attend the Pune court because she has to take care of a small daughter of one and half year. She has also filed 2 CA 31/2010 one criminal case under the Domestic Violence Act and one case under Section 125 of the Cr.P.C. for maintenance. Both the matters are pending before the JMFC, Nashik. 3 The application is opposed on the ground that the respondent has apprehension of threat to his life; that he is unable to get leave and that he has also to look after his ailing parents. 4 After hearing the parties, I am not impressed with any of the reasons given by the respondent opposing the application for transfer. Admittedly, the couple has a child aged one and half year and the applicant-wife is required to look after the child. The distance between Nashik and Pune is 180 kms and they are connected only by road and not by train. By bus, it may be journey of about 4 to 5 hours. In such circumstances, the applicant will be required to travel along with her small child for total about 8 to 10 hours to attend the 3 CA 31/2010 matter. 5 In view of the above circumstances, the application is allowed and the petition No.1152/2009 pending before the Family Court, Pune, is hereby withdrawn and transferred to the file of Civil Judge, Senior Division, Nashik, for hearing and disposal. 6 Application is disposed of.
