IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD WEDNESDAY, THE TWENTY SECOND DAY OF DECEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. KANTHA RAO TRANSFER CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS PETITION No.544 OF 2010 Between: Smt. Veena. --- Petitioner. AND Sri Rapolu Veda Vikas. --- Respondent. The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. KANTHA RAO TRANSFER CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS PETITION No.544 OF 2010 ORDER: This Transfer Civil Miscellaneous Petition, under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, is filed to withdraw O.P.No.420 of 2010 on the file of the Judge Family Court, Ranga Reddy District at L.B. Nagar and transfer the same to the file of the Family Court, Karimnagar, Karimnagar District. Subsequently, an amendment petition has been filed seeking to transfer O.P. No.420 of 2010 to the Court of Senior Civil Judge, Huzurabad, Karimnagar District in stead of Family Court, Karimnagar and the said petition is pending. 2. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the respondent. 3. Petitioner herein is the wife of respondent. Respondent filed O.P.No.420 of 2010 on the file of the Judge Family Court, Ranga Reddy District at L.B. Nagar, under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, for divorce. It is stated that after receiving notices in the said case, the petitioner filed D.V.C. No.10 of 2010 under Section 12 of protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 and a complaint under Section 498-A of I.P.C., which were pending on the file of Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Huzurabad, Karimnagar District. 4. The transfer of O.P. No.420 of 2010 is sought by the petitioner- wife on the ground that the Family Court, Ranga Reddy District is at a distance of nearly 200 K.Ms from her place of residence and it is becoming difficult for her to attend the Family Court, Ranga Reddy District at L.B. Nagar, for every adjournment. 5. The respondent-husband opposed the petition on the ground that when he attended the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class Court at Huzurabad in connection with the above Criminal cases along with eight persons, they were threatened and an attempt was made to attack them in the Court premises it self and in connection with said incident, he lodged a report on 07-09-2010 to the Station House Officer, Huzurabad P.S. and the copy of the report is also filed along with the petition. 6. Only because an allegation has been made that the people of the petitioner attempted to assault the respondent and his people who attended the Court of Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class at Huzurabad in connection with the Criminal cases pending there and they apprehend danger in the hands of the people of the petitioner, I do not think that if otherwise the request made by the petitioner to transfer the case is genuine it cannot be denied. In fact, similar allegations have been made by the parties in transfer petitions and the truth or otherwise of such allegations cannot be ascertained. If really there is any threat, the respondent and his people can seek protection from the police. Since, this Court thinks that it causes much inconvenience to the petitioner to attend Family Court, Ranga Reddy District at L.B. Nagar in connection with O.P. No.420 of 2010 for each and every adjournment, it is expedient to transfer the case as prayed for. 7. It is further represented by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that the respondent is a permanent resident of Hanmakonda, Warangal District, which is at a distance of 30 K.Ms from Huzurabad and for the convenience of both the parties, O.P. No.420 of 2010 may be transferred to the Court of Senior Civil Judge, Hanmakonda, Warangal District. 8. In the result, the O.P. No.420 of 2010 pending on the file of the Family Court, Ranga Reddy District at L.B. Nagar is withdrawn and transferred to the Court of Senior Civil Judge, Hanmakonda, Warangal District, for trial and disposal. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ R.
