JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present:- Mr.Aman Pal, Advocate for the applicant Mr. Naveen Kumar, respondent in person. MAHESH GROVER, J This is an application under Section 24 CPC for transfer of two petitions one titled as 'Naveen Kumar versus Smt. Sarika Sharma' filed under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955 and another petition under Section 24 of the Guardian and Ward Act, pending in the Court of Civil Judge (Sr. Divn.) cum ACJM, Ambala City to a Court of competent jurisdiction at Jagadhri. The applicant was married to the respondent from which a child was also born. The child is in the custody of the applicant. Since the marriage has not worked out it has resulted in litigation between the parties. It is the contended case of the applicant that she being a lady and having a minor child finds it extremely difficult to travel to Courts at Ambala City to attend to the Court proceedings in the aforesaid petition filed by the respondent. Respondent is present in person and states that the applicant is resident of Ambala. This fact is controverted by learned counsel for the TA No. 240 of 2008 2 applicant who states that applicant is working at Jagadhri and is staying there with her minor child. In this view of the matter when the applicant is having a minor child and is staying at Jagadhri and also keeping in view the observations of Hon'ble Apex Court in case titled as 'Sumita Singh versus Kumar Sanjay and another' AIR 2002 SC 396, I am of the considered opinion that the present application deserves to succeed. Accordingly, the proceedings in two petitions one titled as 'Naveen Kumar versus Smt. Sarika Sharma' filed under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955 and another petition under Section 24 of the Guardian and Ward Act, pending in the Court of Civil Judge (Sr. Divn.) cum ACJM, Ambala City are transferred to a Court of competent jurisdiction at Jagadhri. The Court at Jagadhri shall issue notice to the parties for appearance after receipt of the case on transfer April 18, 2009 (Mahesh Grover) rekha Judge
