TA No. 235 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH TA No. 235 of 2011 Date of decision:1.6.2011 Gurmeet Kaur ...Applicant Versus Mewa Singh ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr.Gopal Singh Nahel, Advocate, for the applicant. Mr.Mohinder Kumar, Advocate, the respondent. -.- JITENDRA CHAUHAN, J. (Oral) This is an application filed under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure read with Section 151 CPC for transfer of the petition titled Mewa Singh Vs. Gurmeet Kaur under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (for short `the Act') from the Court of Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Dera Bassi to the court of competent jurisdiction at Sangrur. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. It is an admitted fact that the the applicant is in government service at Patiala. It is also not disputed that she is having a house at Patiala as is evident from the copy of sale-deed, mark `A'. But she has claimed to be residing at Sangrur. The respondent disputes the same and has produced a sale-deed of the house purchased by the applicant, which is taken on record as mark `A'. The distance between two stations i.e. Patiala to Dera TA No. 235 of 2011 2 Bassi is about 40 kms. The applicant can easily attend the proceedings without any inconvenience. The argument of the learned counsel for the applicant regarding danger to life and liberty of the applicant at the hands of the respondent is unfounded. Hon'ble the Supreme Court in Anindita Das Vs. Srijit Das, 2006 (9) SCC 197 has observed that leniency to the ladies shown by the Court in such transfer matters often misused and taken advantage of by the women. Considering the facts that the applicant-wife is in the Government job serving at Patiala and distance of 40 kms being not very long, thus, no sufficient ground is made out to transfer the case from Dera Bassi to Sangrur. Accordingly, the present application is dismissed. 1.6.2011 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) mk JUDGE
