and they are facing trial in the Court. The applicant, not having any source

of income and taking care of minor son of the parties, it is difficult for her to

travel from Rohtak to Jind covering a distance of 60 kms on one side,

therefore, the application be accepted.

Notice of the application was given to the respondent, who was

duly served through his brother but he has not turned up to offer a contest.

I have heard learned counsel for the applicant besides going

through the record.

Keeping in view the contentions in the application and

submissions made by learned counsel for the applicant in which I find merit

in absence of any strong circumstance to the contrary, it would be proper

and appropriate if the application is accepted, the same is accordingly

allowed. The petition in question is ordered to be withdrawn from the Court

of Additional District Judge, Jind and transferred to Family Court at Rohtak

for disposal in accordance with law.

The parties through their counsel are directed to appear in the

transferee Court on 14.3.2019. Copies of orders be sent to the Court of

Additional District Judge, Jind as well as to the Family Court at Rohtak for

information and necessary compliance.
