4.

Going by catena of the decisions by the Supreme Court,

convenience of the wife is the paramount consideration in such matters.

Certainly she would be put to inconvenience, if she is made to commute

between Nanded and Aurangabad to defend the proceeding in Family Court at

Aurangabad. Even otherwise, even if the request for transfer is not accepted,

the respondent husband will have to defend the proceeding instituted by her

at Nanded by going to Nanded.

5.

The averments made in the application have not been

controverted. Taking necessary precaution to avoid any possible hardship to

the respondent, the application can be allowed.

6.

The application is allowed.

7.

The proceeding bearing Hindu Marriage Petition No.B-5 of 2018,

pending in the Family Court at Aurangabad is transferred to the Family Court

at Nanded.

8.

All the courts taking up different matters between the parties at

Nanded shall, as far as possible, list all the matters on the same date.

9.

Parties shall appear before the Family Court at Nanded on

30.07.2022.
