O R D E R Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. The petitioner is the complainant in M.C. No. 97 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate-II, Mananthavady complaining of constant harassment by the respondent and seeking protective orders and compensation under Section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. The learned counsel for the petitioner states that the marriage between the parties was solemnized at Ernakulam and parties are residing at Ernakulam. Even though notice was issued to respondent No.1, he has not chosen to enter appearance. Considering the nature of the grievance of the petitioner, I direct that M.C. No. 97 of 2010 pending before the Judicial First Class Magistrate-II, Manannthavady be transferred to any competent court at Ernakulam. The trial court is directed to send the records to the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ernakulam to allot the same to any competent court at Ernakulam. The transferred court shall issue notice to the respondent and dispose of the case in accordance with law. This Crl.M.C. is disposed of as above. sd/-B.P. RAY, JUDGE. rv
