JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Shri P.K. Chugh, Advocate, for the petitioner. None for the respondent. HEMANT GUPTA, J. (Oral). The petitioner has sought transfer of a petition under Section 11 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 [ for short `the Act' ], filed by the respondent and pending in the Court of District Judge, Chandigarh, to the Court of competent jurisdiction at Hisar. As per the averments made in the transfer petition, the marriage between the parties was solemnised on 22.7.2006. It is pleaded that the petitioner is a poor lady and has no source of income. The petitioner is residing with her mother, who is an old widowed lady. Therefore, it is difficult for the petitioner to defend the petition at Chandigarh, which is 240 kilometres from Hisar. It is also pointed out Transfer Application No. 122 of 2009 [2] that the petitioner has filed a petition under Section 9 of the Act, which is pending adjudication before the Family Court, Hisar. The respondent has not filed any reply controverting the allegations of the petitioner. Keeping in view the fact that the petition under Section 9 of the Act is pending before the Family Court, at Hisar and the petitioner is not possessed of sufficient means to contest the petitioner at Chandigarh, the petition under Section 11 of the Act, pending in the Court of District Judge, Chandigarh, is ordered to be transferred to the learned Family Court, Hisar, wherein the proceedings under Section 9 of the Act are pending adjudication. Petitioner, through her counsel, is directed to appear before the learned Transferee Court on 30.11.2009, for further proceedings, in accordance with law. [ HEMANT GUPTA ] JUDGE 26-10-2009 ds
