J U D G M E N T This Transfer Petition is filed seeking to withdraw O.P.315/06 pending before the Family Court, Ernakulam and transfer the same to the Munsiff Court, North Paravur to be tried along with O.S.687/05. The Family Court presided over by a District Judge is given jurisdiction to try the cases relating to matrimonial disputes which include the dispute regarding the properties as envisaged under Section 7(1)(c) of the Family Court's Act. It is a special jurisdiction conferred upon the said Court. A case which is filed contending that it is maintainable there cannot be transferred to a Court of inferior jurisdiction for trial and disposal. Therefore, the Tr.P.C. lacks merit and it is dismissed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
