THIS TRANSFER PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 07/04/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: tss P. BHAVADASAN, J --------------------------- T.P.C.No.253 OF 2009 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of April, 2010 Order This is a petition filed under section 24 of C.P.C. The petitioner seeks transfer of O.P.563/08 pending before the Family Court, Ernakulam to Family Court, Palakkad. 2. The petitioner is the respondent in O.P.563/08 pending before the Family Court, Ernakulam. The marriage between the petitioner and the respondent was solemnized on 10.2.2002. Petitioner had filed O.P.265 of 2006 seeking divorce before the Family Court, Palakkad. That was contested and it was dismissed. Order is produced as Annexure I. Appeal is pending before this court. Maintenance Case, M.C.100/2006 was filed by the petitioner before the Family Court, Palakkad seeking maintenance for the children. 3. The petitioner pointed out that it is difficult for her to travel to Ernakulam on all posting days and the T.C.P. No.253/09 2 respondent has no grievance even if the matter is tried by the Family Court, Palakkad. It is pointed out that she will have to incur huge expenses and there is nobody to accompany her. There is need to effectively contest the matter and hence she seeks transfer of O.P.563 of 2008 to Family Court, Palakkad. 4. Considering the reasons given in the petition seeking transfer, I find the prayer made is just and reasonable. 5. In the result, O.P.563/08 pending before the Family Court, Ernakulam shall stand transferred to Family Court, Palakkad. Parties shall appear before the Family Court, Palakkad on 15.6.2010. P. BHAVADASAN, JUDGE. Sou.
