None appears for the Opposite Party No.1 although appearance has been filed on their behalf. 2. The matter was adjourned on several occasions so as to enable the counsel for the Opposite Party No.1 to appear in these proceedings but for reasons best known to him he has not chosen to appear. In the circumstances, this Court is passing this order after hearing only the counsel for the petitioner. 3. Petitioner has prayed for transfer of Matrimonial Suit No. 70 of 2005 filed by Opposite Party No. 1 pending in the court of Family Judge, Nalanda to the competent court at Munger. It is submitted on her behalf that for the present she is residing at her parental home at Munger and it shall be convenient for her if Matrimonial Suit No. 70 of 2005 are transferred from Nalanda to Munger. 4. Instead of directing for transfer of the case from - 2 - Nalanda to Munger, I deem it expedient to direct the Opposite Party No.1 herein to pay the petitioner the traveling expenses for her visit to Family Court Nalanda, Biharsharif to appear in the aforesaid matrimonial case and the amount for traveling, boarding and lodging expense is quantified at Rs. 5,00/- for each visit. The Principal Judge, Nalanda at Biharsharif should ensure payment of such amount to the petitioner for her every visit for appearing and contesting the Matrimonial Suit No. 70 of 2005 and until such payment is made the court below is directed not to proceed with the matrimonial case. 5. This contempt application is, accordingly, disposed of. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha, J.)
