Respondent has entered appearance and filed affidavit stating that she has no objection in transferring O.P. No.35 of 2010 to Family Court, Kozhikode. Hence I am inclined to allow this petition. Resultantly, petition is allowed in the following lines: (i) O.P. No.35 of 2010 pending in Family Court, Wayanad at Kalpetta is withdrawn from that court and made over to Family Court, Kozhikode.
