JUDGMENT

Arvind Singh Sangwan, J. (Oral) - While issuing notice of motion on 14.03.2022, the following order was passed:

'The applicant is seeking transfer of a petition titled as 'Gurpreet Singh Vs. Bhavneet Kaur' filed by the respondent under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 which is pending in the Court of learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Baba Bakala Sahib, District Amritsar, to a Court of competent jurisdiction at Kharar, District SAS Nagar.

Learned counsel inter alia contends that after she was thrown out of her matrimonial home by the respondent, she (along with her one minor child) had been residing with her parents at SAS Nagar and living at their mercy. It would, therefore, be very difficult for her to travel alone from SAS Nagar to Amritsar which is almost 180 kms. away, on each and every date of hearing. Learned counsel submits that the case at Amritsar is at the initial stage. It has also been submitted that a petition under Section 125 Cr.P.C. is already pending between the parties at District Courts at SAS Nagar, which was instituted prior in time.

Notice of motion for 12.07.2022.'

2. Learned counsel has relied upon the judgments Sumita Singh Vs. Kumar Sanja
