No. 2 of 2008 is pending.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.\tApplicant<br \/>\nherein wife had instituted one H.M.P. No. 2 of 2008 before the<br \/>\nlearned Principal Senior Civil Judge. Mehsana against the respondent<br \/>\nhusband, under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act for restitution of<br \/>\nconjugal rights. That the respondent husband has also filed one<br \/>\nH.M.P. No. 50 of 2007 before the learned Principal Senior Civil<br \/>\nJudge, Patan against the applicant wife under Section 13 of the Hindu<br \/>\nMarriage Act for divorce.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\tIt<br \/>\nis submitted that the applicant is a lady and she is residing at her<br \/>\nparental house with her parents and has no independent income to meet<br \/>\nwith the traveling and other expenses on attending the Court at Patan<br \/>\non every date of adjournments. It is submitted that it will be very<br \/>\ndifficult for the applicant to move the Patan at every adjournments<br \/>\nof the said petition. It is further submitted that and even<br \/>\notherwise, considering the fact that application  submitted by the<br \/>\napplicant for restitution of conjugal rights under Section 9 of the<br \/>\nHindu Marriage Act is pending in the Court at Mehsana, it will be in<br \/>\nthe fitness of things that both the proceedings are heard by one<br \/>\nCourt at Mehsana to avoid any duplication of the evidence etc. Shri<br \/>\nJani, learned advocate for the applicant has heavily relied upon the<br \/>\ndecision of the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court in the case of Sumitra Singh<br \/>\nVs. Kumar Sanjay reported in AIR 2002 SC 396, in support<br \/>\nof his contention. As observed by the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court in a<br \/>\nmatrimonial dispute while considering Section 24 of the Code of Civil<br \/>\nProcedure normally the convenience of the wife is required to be<br \/>\nconsidered. Therefore, it is requested to allow the present<br \/>\napplication and to transfer the proceedings pending in the Court of<br \/>\nPatan to Court at Mehsana and to hear both the proceedings together<br \/>\nby one Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tApplication<br \/>\nis opposed by Shri Pratik Barot, learned advocate for the<br \/>\nrespondent-husband. It is submitted by Shri Barot, learned advocate<br \/>\nfor the respondent that merely because, the applicant is lady and has<br \/>\nno independent income is no ground to transfer the proceedings from<br \/>\nPatan Court to Mehsana Court. It is submitted that even the husband<br \/>\nis required to go and defend the case at Mehsana. Shri Barot, learned<br \/>\nadvocate for the respondent-husband has relied upon the following<br \/>\ndecisions of the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court, in support of his submissions<br \/>\nand prayer to dismiss the present application.\n<\/p>\n<p>1.\t(2004)<br \/>\n13 SCC, 634, Kamudi Aurora Vs. Surinder Pal Singh Aurora.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.\t(2005)<br \/>\n11 SCC, 535,  Preeti<br \/>\nSharma Vs. Manjit Sharma.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\t(2005)<br \/>\n11 SCC, 446, Gargi<br \/>\nKonar Vs. Jagjeet Singh<\/p>\n<p>4.\t(2006)<br \/>\n9 SCC, 197, Anindita<br \/>\nDas Vs. Srijit Das.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tHeard<br \/>\nthe learned advocate for the respective parties and considered the<br \/>\ndecisions relied upon by the learned advocate for the respective<br \/>\nparties referred to herein above. On considering the various<br \/>\ndecisions relied upon by the learned advocate for the<br \/>\nrespondent-husband referred to herein above, it cannot be said that<br \/>\nthe Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court has laid down absolute proposition of law<br \/>\nas sought to be canvased on behalf of the respondent-husband that on<br \/>\nthe aforesaid ground there cannot be transfer of proceedings.<br \/>\nUltimately it depends upon the facts of each case. In the case of<br \/>\nSumitra Singh (supra), the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court has specifically<br \/>\nlaid down that in matrimonial matter while considering Section 24 of<br \/>\nthe Code of Civil Procedure convenience of the wife is required to be<br \/>\nconsidered. Even otherwise, considering the fact that there are two<br \/>\nproceedings pending in different Courts one initiated by the wife and<br \/>\nanother initiated by the husband, one is for restitution of conjugal<br \/>\nrights under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act and another for<br \/>\ndivorce under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act and even to avoid<br \/>\nmultiplicity of proceedings and to avoid multiplicity of leading<br \/>\nevidence, it will be in the fitness of things that both the<br \/>\nproceedings are heard together by one Court and the same will not<br \/>\nonly save the time of the litigant as well as the Court but the same<br \/>\nmay avoid conflicting order. It may happen that the Court at Mehsana<br \/>\nin which the application for restitution of conjugal rights at the<br \/>\ninstance of the wife is pending, may pass a decree for restitution of<br \/>\nconjugal rights and on the other the Court at Patan before whom the<br \/>\nproceedings are pending  at the instance of the husband for divorce<br \/>\nunder Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act may pass decree of divorce<br \/>\nand, therefore, there will be two conflicting orders \/judgment and<br \/>\ndecree by two different Courts between the same parties and<br \/>\ntherefore, to avoid such a situation eventuality, this Court is of<br \/>\nthe opinion that it will be in the fitness of things that both the<br \/>\nproceedings may be heard together by one Court and, therefore, also<br \/>\nthe proceedings pending in the Court at Patan are required to be<br \/>\ntransferred at Mehsana and both are required to be heard together by<br \/>\none Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\tUnder<br \/>\nthe circumstances and for the reasons stated above, the application<br \/>\nsucceeds and it is ordered that H.M.P No. 50 of 2007 pending in the<br \/>\nCourt of learned Civil Judge, Patan be transferred to the Court of<br \/>\nlearned Principal Senior Civil Judge, Mehsana and the same is heard<br \/>\nalong with H.M.P. No. 2 of 2008 pending in the Court of learned<br \/>\nPrincipal Senior Civil Judge, Mehsana and both are heard and decided<br \/>\ntogether by one Court. Rule is made absolute, There shall be no order<br \/>\nas to costs.\n<\/p>\n<p>                             (M.R.SHAH.\n<\/p>\n<p>J.)<\/p>\n<p>kaushik<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Sonalben vs Present on 31 July, 2008 Author: M.R.
