IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Transfer Application No.285 of 2010 Date of decision : 29.07.2010 Ravinder Kaur ... Applicant versus Dalbir Singh ... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present : Mr. P.S.Khurana, Advocate for the applicant. **** RAJESH BINDAL J This is an application for transfer of the divorce petition filed by the respondent-husband in the court of Addl. District Judge, Jalandhar to a competent court in Ludhiana. Brief facts of the case are that marriage of the applicant was solemnized with respondent on 22.06.1982 and three children were born out of this wedlock, namely, two daughters and one son. Two daughters are already married and son is living with the respondent-husband. It has been further mentioned in the divorce petition filed by the respondent-husband that after the applicant left the company of the husband, the marriage of two daughters were performed by him and even on his invitation, the applicant-wife did not join the celebrations. It has been further mentioned that the divorce petition was filed by the husband on 10.04.2009. Thereafter, the applicant-wife filed the application under Section 125 of Cr.P.C. for the grant of maintenance in the court of Ld. Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, Ludhiana. After the receipt of notice in the divorce petition, the applicant-wife was appearing before the Court at Jalandhar for about a year and all of sudden now the application for transfer of divorce petition from the Court of Jalandhar to the competent court of Ludhiana,has been filed. Considering the fact of the case that wife was already appearing before the Court of Jalandhar for a long time, I do not find any reason to transfer the divorce petition. Dismissed.
