The Transfer Petition is filed by the wife to transfer the case from the Family Court, Kannur to the Family Court, Alappuzha. It is stated that the petitioner is employed at Mavelikkara. She is a native of Mavelikara. She would be put to great prejudice, if she were to travel from Mavelikara to Kannur to attend the Family Court, Kannur. The respondent is residing at Thaliparamba. On a comparison of the hardships that would be caused to the parties, I am of the view that it would be only proper to transfer the case from Family Court Kannur to Family Court, Alappuzha. Accordingly, the Transfer Petition is allowed. O.P.No. 799/08 on the file of the Family Court, Kannur shall stand transferred to Family Court, Alappuzha.
