These are two applications under Section 24 CPC for transfer of petitions titled as 'Bittu versus Reena' and 'Bharat Bhushan versus Sapna' filed under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955, pending in the Court of Additional District Judge, Ferozepur to a Court of competent jurisdiction at Jalandhar. It is the case of the applicants that they are married to the respondents in their respective petitions who are brothers. It is further stated that their marriage did not work out as a result of which divorce petitions under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act have been filed by TA No. 44 of 2008 2 their respective husbands in the Courts at Ferozepur. It is also contended by the learned counsel for the applicants that their father has since expired and it is extremely difficult for them to travel to Ferozepur to attend to the Court proceedings. The aforesaid contentions and averments have gone uncontroverted as no reply has been filed. After having heard learned counsel for the parties and also keeping in view the observations of Hon'ble Apex Court in case titled as 'Sumita Singh versus Kumar Sanjay and another' AIR 2002 SC 396, I am of the considered opinion that the present applications deserve to succeed. Accordingly, the proceedings in the petitions titled as 'Bittu versus Reena' and 'Bharat Bhushan versus Sapna' filed under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955, pending in the Court of Additional District Judge, Ferozepur are transferred to a Court of competent jurisdiction at Jalandhar.
