THIS TRANSFER PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: THOMAS P JOSEPH, J. ---------------------------------------- Tr.P.C.No.232 of 2010 --------------------------------------- Dated this 23rd day of July, 2010 ORDER This petition is for transfer of O.P.(H.M.A).No.656 of 2010 from Family Court, Thiruvananthapuram to Family Court, Palakkad. It is not disputed that parties belonged to and are residents of Thiruvananthapuram district. Transfer of the case to Family Court, Palakkad according to the petitioner is necessitated because petitioner is facing threat from respondent and his men while appearing in Family Court, Thiruvananthapuram. On account of such threat petitioner is now staying at Palakkad with a family friend of her. 2. Admittedly, petitioner's paternal home is in Neyyattinkara Taluk, Thiruvananthapuram district. I do not find reason to think that to avoid the alleged threat the case has to be transferred to Family Court, Palakkad where even according to the petitioner she has neither any permanent residence nor permanent stay and instead, for the time being she is staying with a family friend. There is no justifiable reason stated in the petition to transfer the case from Family Court, Thiruvananthapuram to Family Court, Palakkad which is a few Tr.P.C.No.232 of 2010 : 2 : hundred kilometers away. If petitioner has any threat in appearing in Family Court, Thiruvananthapuram, it is open to her to bring that matter to the notice of the learned Judge presiding over that court and seek redressal of that grievance of her. Without prejudice to that right of petitioner, this petition is closed. (THOMAS P JOSEPH, JUDGE) Sbna/-
