“Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner is none other than the wife of the respondent/husband, due to the matrimonial disputes between both the spouses, the petitioner/wife has been residing separately at her parents’ house at Visakhapatnam.

He would further contend that the petitioner/wife filed a Domestic Violence case vide D.V.C.No.93 of 2024 on the file of the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Visakhapatnam, under Section

23(2) Domestic Violence Act, 2005, the same is pending for adjudication, against the respondent/husband.

Learned counsel for the petitioner would further contend that to cause unnecessary inconvenience to the petitioner, the respondent/husband had filed H.M.O.P.No.49 of 2025, on the file of the Principal Senior Civil Judge, Srikakulam, under Section

13(1)(ia) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, seeking for divorce from the petitioner/wife and the same is also pending for adjudication.

He would further contend that the distance between Visakhapatnam and Srikakulam, is more than 100 Kms, it is very difficult for the petitioner/wife to attend the divorce case proceedings before the Principal Senior Civil Judge, Srikakulam, on each and every adjournment without any male support and that she is constrained to file the present transfer petition.
