Petitioner is the wife and respondent the husband. Husband has filed a petition for transfer of O.P (HMA)No. 403/2009 seeking resolution of the marriage, before the Family Court, Alappuzha. Petitioner seeks transfer of that petition to Family Court,Thiruvalla. 2. Notice was ordered to the respondent. But after service he has not entered appearance. 3. I heard the learned counsel for the wife. It is submitted that the Family Court, Tr.P.(C).No.188 OF 2009 Page numbers Alappuzha is situate nearly 75 Km. away from the residence of the wife and there is none to accompany her or render any assistance to go over and defend the case in the Family Court situate at a far off place. It will be convenient for the petitioner, if the case is transferred to the Family Court, Thiruvalla, submits the counsel. Respondent has elected to remain absent practically conceding the case canvassed by the petitioner. I find no reason to disbelieve the case presented by the petitioner/ wife as to the inconvenience experienced by her in appearing before the Family Court, Alappuzha. In the circumstance, O.P(HMA)No. 403/2009 on the file of the Family Court, Alappuzha is ordered to be transferred to Family Court, Thiruvalla.
