PLEADER HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM THIS TRANSFER PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: K.P. BALACHANDRAN, J ------------------------------------------------------------ Tr.P.C. NO: 330 OF 2008 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th December,2008. O R D E R Heard. Petitioners are husband and wife who have filed a joint petition for divorce as H.M.O.P.3/2008 before the Family Court, Kalpetta under Section 13B(1) of the Hindu Marriage Act. The grievance of the petitioners is that there is no Judge posted in the Family Court, Kalpetta and consequently they cannot get any orders on the joint petition filed before the Family Court and that is causing great difficulties regarding the future of both the petitioners. 2. Considering the submissions made by counsel for the petitioners, I am of the view that H.M.O.P. 3/2008 now pending before the Family Court, Kalpetta deserves to be transferred to the Family Court, Thrissur as prayed for. In the result allowing this transfer petition I order that H.M.O.P.3/2008 pending before the Family Court, Kalpetta shall stand transferred forthwith to the Family Court, Thrissur. 3. Counsel for the petitioners is directed to produce a copy of this order before the District Judge, Kalpetta and obtain orders directing transmission of records in H.M.O.P.3/2008 to the Family Court, Thrissur Tr.P.C.330/2008 2 forthwith. This transfer petition is thus allowed. Issue copy of this order to the counsel for the petitioners forthwith. K.P.BALACHANDRAN Judge jj Tr.P.C.330/2008 3 K.K.DENESAN & V.
