SRI.V.V.RAJA SRI.M.T.SURESHKUMAR THIS TRANSFER PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 26/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: K.P. Balachandran, J. -------------------------- Tr.P.(C)No.270 of 2008 -------------------------- ORDER Heard counsel for the petitioner. Petitioner is the wife of the respondent. Respondent filed O.P.No.580/08 before the Family Court, Kottarakara to declare that his marriage with the petitioner is null and void. Petitioner filed M.C.No.168/08 before the Family Court, Thiruvananthapuram claiming maintenance from the respondent. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that she cannot go alone to Kottarakkara to attend the case; that the respondent has neglected to pay maintenance to her and that in the circumstances, to mitigate her difficulties and grievances, O.P. No.580/08 pending before the Family Court, Kottarakkara be transferred to the Family Court, Thiruvananthapuram. Counsel for the respondent has vehemently opposed the transfer. But, I see no merit in the contention advanced by the respondent to resist the transfer to suit the convenience of TrPC 270/08 2 the petitioner/wife. In the result, allowing this transfer petition, I order that O.P.No.580/08 pending before the Family Court, Kottarakkara be transferred to the Family Court, Thiruvananthapuram. 26th November, 2008 (K.P.Balachandran, Judge) tkv
