O R D E R Petitioner/wife seeks to transfer O.P.Nos.686/08, 1043/10 and M.C.367/10 pending before Family Court Kottarakkara to Family Court, Kollam. It is stated that the respondent is a practicing advocate at Kottarakkara and so the petitioner feels some sort of embarrassment in having the matter decided by the Family Court at Kottarakkara. She requests that the case be transferred to Family Court, Kollam. Learned counsel for the respondent would submit that the respondent is a junior lawyer and so it would be ideal to have the matter settled by referring the matter to mediation. Tr.P.C. NOs. 5, 49 & 51 OF 2011 -:2:- Though the learned counsel suggested that the mediation can be had by the High Court Mediation Centre, it is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that as the petitioner hails from Kottarakkara, it will be causing much inconvenience to her. On the other hand it is suggested that the mediation centre has started functioning in Kollam District Court and so some direction may be issued to the Family Court, Kollam for the said purpose. Hence the three cases mentioned above are ordered to be transferred to Family Court, Kollam. The Family Court, Kollam will explore the possibility of settlement by referring the matter to the Mediation Centre attached to the District Court, Kollam. The Tr.P.Cs. are disposed of accordingly.
