IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYNA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. M 9855 of 2010 Date of decision: 1.4.2010 Chhind Pal Singh Petitioner vs. Veer Kaur Respondent Present: Mr. Vaibhav Narang, Advocate. M.M.S.BEDI,J. The petitioner- husband seeks the transfer of the proceedings u/s 125 Cr.P.C. filed by the respondent-wife from Gurdaspur to any other court of competent jurisdiction at Amritsar inter alia on the ground that on account of his having met with an accident, it is not possible for him to appear on each and every date of hearing , as such prejudice will be caused to the petitioner. The petitioner was earlier proceeded against ex- parte and now he has engaged a counsel and is contesting the proceedings u/s 125 Cr.P.C. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that it is not a case where an application for transfer is to be allowed, taking into consideration the distance between Gurdaspur and Amritsar. Besides this, in proceedings u/s 125 Cr.P.C., it is not mandatory for the husband to appear on each date of hearing. Dismissed. However, it is observed that in case the petitioner is unable to appear in court for a particular date on account of his physical condition, the trial court will take a lenient view and would accommodate the petitioner, taking into consideration his physical condition.
