( 1 ) THE petitioner is the wife of the respondent. The respondent has filed a matrimonial suit being HMA No. 748 of 2000, titled Rabi Shankar mukherjee v. Leena Mukherjee in the Court of the learned Additional District judge, Delhi. The petitioner is a resident of Durgapur, District Burdwan, west Bengal. She states that she is a distressed woman without any financial resources and that with the meagre income which she gets by way of maintenance, it is not possible for her to travel from Durgapur to Delhi to prosecute the case. She also submits that there is nobody to accompany her to delhi. The above fact is not traversed in the counter-affidavit. Having regard to the cirsumstances, we think that it would be appropriate to order transfer of the matrimonial suit from the Court of the Additional District Judge, delhi.
