CIVIL ORIGINAL JURISDICTION
TRANSFER PETITION (C.) NO.1197 OF 2008
GUNJAN BANSAL Petitioner(s)
VERSUS
ATUL BANSAL Respondent(s)
O R D E R

Heard both sides.

The petitioner herein is the wife and is staying with her parents

at Dehradun in Uttarakhand along with her seven year old child. The

respondent-husband has filed a matrimonial Suit before the Family Court at

Agra and the petitioner says that she is not in a position to defend the case

in view of her financial condition and seeks for transfer of the case to

Dehradun. This plea is opposed by the husband as he is having bronchial

asthma and other illnesses and the transfer of the case would cause great

inconvenience to him. We do not think that this is an appropriate ground for

rejecting the transfer of the petition as the respondent can very well

prosecute his case at Dehradun.Therefore,we direct for transfer of

H.M.A.Case No.426 of 2008 pending before the Family Court at Agra to the

Family Court at Dehradun. All records be transferred by the Family Court at

Agra to the Family Court at Dehradun.

The transfer petition is allowed accordingly.
