IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.112 of 2008 Noor Jahan Khatoon @ Noori @ Begum Noor Johan, daughter of Md. Salauddin @ Munna, resident of mohalla Maksaspur (Hajarat Gani), P.S. Kotwali, P.O. Munger, District- Munger Versus Md. Reyaziddin, son of Md. Kalim, resident of Mohalla- Milki (Near Doctor Kamru) P.S. Ara Town, P.O. Ara, District-Bhojpur. ----------- 4. 19.08.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. No one appears for the opposite party although he has entered appearance. The petitioner seeks transfer of Muslim Divorce Case No. 105 of 2006 from the court of the Principal Judge, Family Court, Ara, District-Bhojpur to the Family Court at Munger. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is residing at Munger and being a lady with several small children it would be difficult for her to pursue the case at Ara which is located at a substantial distance from Munger. It is also submitted that admittedly in the divorce petition it is stated that triple talak was uttered in the presence of Moulana and father of the petitioner and other persons after going to the residence of the petitioner at Mohalla Hazratganj Bada, Munger. This Court has, in a catena of decisions, held that the inconvenience caused to a lady in going to another place for contesting the matrimonial case is much more than caused to a husband under the same circumstances and on the said ground the matrimonial matters are normally being transferred to the Court where the wife is residing. In the present matter also as the petitioner is admittedly residing at Munger with small children, it would be quite - 2 - inconvenient for her to take a long journey to Ara from there and pursue the case at the Family Court at Ara. For the above reasons, the application is allowed and it is directed that Muslim Divorce Case No. 105 of 2006 shall stand transferred from the Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Ara, District- Bhojpur to the Court of the Principal Judge, Family Court at Munger.
