Dr. Pasayat, J. -- 1. These transfer petitions have been filed by Aviral Bhatia (hereinafter referred to as the "husband") seeking transfer of several cases pending before learned Chief Judge, Family Court, Gwalior, in proceedings under section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (in short "the Act") and section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (in short "the Code"). The parties were married on 20.1.2006 at Surajkund, Haryana. It appears that there were some irreconcilable differences between the parties and despite concerted and serious efforts the parties were not able to resolve their disputes and were living separately since 10.10.2007. It appears that after the transfer petitions were filed before this Court, learned counsel for the parties made efforts to bring about a comprehensive settlement of the disputes relating to the matrimonial discord. The Mediation Centre of the Delhi High Court also played a vital role in arriving at a settlement. The details of the litigations between the parties are as follows :
