Service to the respondent is complete and though he has entered appearance through a lawyer, no one is present to oppose the transfer. According to the petitioner, she delivered a child on 9.11.2006 and the delivery was ceasarian and she will experience difficulty to travel and appear for the case in the Family Court at Ernakulam, especially as she has to join duty also on the expiry of the maternity leave as she is working as a Vocational Higher Secondary Teacher at Kuttipuram. 2. In the circumstances, I am of the view that the request made for transfer has to be allowed. In the result, I order transfer of O.P.1713/06 pending before the Family Court, Ernakulam to the Family Court, Thrissur. Parties shall appear before the Family Court, Thrissur on 3.4.2007. This transfer petition is disposed of accordingly. K.P.BALACHANDRAN, JUDGE jes
