O R D E R Petitioner is the wife and respondent is the husband. Their marriage was solemnized on 8.8.2005. Respondent, husband, filed O.P.No.874/07 before the Family Court, Ernakulam, for a declaration that their marriage is null and void. Petitioner, wife, filed M.C.No.311/07 before the Family Court, Palakkad, claiming maintenance. This petition is filed to transfer O.P.874/07 on the file of Family Court, Ernakulam, to Family Court, Palakkad. 2. Petition is opposed by the respondent. The learned counsel appearing for the respondent pointed out that M.C.No.311/07 was filed only later, as a counter blast to O.P.No.874/07, and therefore, there is no necessity to transfer the case to Family Court, Palakkad. Considering the fact that petitioner is the wife and M.C.No.311/07 filed by petitioner for maintenance is pending before Family Court, Palakkad, in the interest of justice, this petition is Tr.P(C) No.68/2008 2 allowed. O.P.No.874/2007 is transferred to Family Court, Palakkad. Family Court, Ernakulam, is directed to transfer the records in O.P.No.874/2007 to the Family Court, Palakkad. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE nj.
