ORDER :

1. This petition is filed under Section 25 of the Code of Civil Procedure seeking transfer of Original Suit No. 1018 of 2022 titled " Mrinal Acharjee Vs. Sharmishtha Das ', pending before the Court of Additional Principal Judge, Additional Family Court, Dhanbad, Jharkhand to the Court of the learned District Court at Serampore, Hooghly, West Bengal.

3. The grounds raised by the petitioner-wife for seeking the transfer are; she has to take care of her widowed mother and her ailing son ; she fears life threat from the respondent and his family if she visits Dhanbad and, also on account of long distance, she is unable to effectively defend the proceedings initiated by the respondent at Dhanbad.
