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 The petition in question is ordered to be withdrawn from the Court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