Respondent * * * CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI PRESENT Mr.J.S.Randhawa, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.D.S.Pheruman, Advocate, with Mr. Bhupeshwar Singh Jaswal, Advocate, for the respondent. M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Petitioner-wife, through the instant petition under Section 24 CPC, seeks the transfer of divorce petition filed by respondent-husband, from the Court of District Judge, Gurdaspur, to the Court of District Judge, Kapurthala. Mr.D.S.Pheruman and Mr.Bhupeshwar Singh Jaswal, Advocates, appearing for the respondent have argued that the present petition has been filed with mala fide intentions to harass the respondent. I have heard the counsel for the petitioner as well . . . 1 T.A. No.49 of 2009 counsels for the respondent. In view of the fact that a criminal case has been registered against the respondent at Kapurthala; he is facing proceedings under Section 125 Cr.P.C., at Kapurthala; a complaint under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act; and a petition for custody of the children being pending at Kapurthala; it will not be of much inconvenience to the respondent-husband to pursue his divorce petition, in case it is transferred from Gurdaspur to Kapurthala. The circumstance that the petitioner, at present, is residing with old and sick parents has also been taken into consideration while determining the comparative convenience of both the litigating parties. In view of the above circumstances, the petition is allowed and the divorce petition titled 'Sukhwinder Singh Vs. Amarjit Kaur' pending in the Court of District Judge, Gurdaspur, is ordered to be transferred to the Court of District Judge, Kapurthala. However, District Judge, Kapurthala, will be at liberty to either keep the case with him for adjudication or to entrust the same to any other Additional District Judge at Kapurthala. Parties are directed to appear before the District Judge, Kapurthala, on 22.08.2009. File of the case, complete in all respects, be sent from Gurdaspur to Kapurthala.
