Tr.P.(C).NO.342 OF 2009 ()
-----------------------------------
Dated this the 20th day of January, 2010
O R D E R
Petition for transfer is filed under Section 24 of the Code
of Civil Procedure. Petitioner is the wife, and the respondent,
the husband. Matrimonial disputes between them have given
rise to three proceedings, one at the instance of the husband
and the other two by the wife, in two different Family Courts.
Husband has filed a petition as O.P.No.1205 of 2009 for
dissolution of marriage before the Family Court, Nedumangad.
Wife has filed two petitions, one for return of valuables and
gold ornaments as O.P.No.49 of 2009 and the other for
maintenance under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal
Procedure as M.C.No.22 of 2009, both the petitions before the
Family Court, Thiruvalla. Wife seeks transfer of O.P.No.1205
of 2009 filed by the husband from the Family court,
Nedumangad to the Family Court, Thiruvalla.

2. Notice was ordered to the respondent. After
acceptance of notice, the respondent/husband has elected to
remain absent. Husband having elected to remain absent, it
appears, practically concedes that he has no objection to the
request for transfer made by the wife. I heard the leaned
counsel for the petitioner. It is submitted that the wife is
permanently settled at Thiruvalla and there is none to assist
her to go over to a Family Court situate at a far off place to
defend the proceedings launched against her by the husband.
I find no reason to doubt the submissions made by the counsel.
I order the transfer of O.P.No.1205 of 2009 on the file of the
Family court, Nedumangad to the Family court, Thiruvalla.
The Judge, Family Court, Nedumangad shall transmit the
records without delay. The transferee court, on receipt of the
records shall give notice to the parties for appearance.
Transfer petition is accordingly disposed.
