District Judge, Ludhiana. Thereafter, respondent has filed the petitions,

transfer whereof has been sought.

It is stated that the petitioner is posted as Principal at R.P.S.

Public School Ghatal Mahaniwas Dharuhera, Bhiwadi (Haryana) and she is

living there along with her children. It is very difficult for the petitioner to

attend the court proceedings at Baba Bakala Sahib (Amritsar) which is at a

distance of more than 300 km from Bhiwadi (Haryana) where she is

working and residing.

Learned counsel for the respondent states that the respondent

is working as Branch Manager in IDBI Bank. Presently, he is posted at

Jammu. He further states that there is no justification for transfer of the

aforesaid two petitions from Baba Bakala Sahib to Ludhiana as the

petitioner is not residing there but she is posted at Bhiwadi (Haryana).

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that after being

thrown out of her matrimonial home, the petitioner has been staying with

her parents at Ludhiana. He further states that it is only because of her job,

the petitioner is residing along with her children at Bhiwadi (Haryana). It is

further stated that the respondent is already appearing at Ludhiana in the

petition under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act filed by the petitioner.

Considering the facts and circumstance of the case, it is deemed

appropriate that the petitions under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act,

1955 titled as “Gurpreet Singh Sekhon Vs. Ramanpreet Kaur” (HMA No.07

of 2018) and petition under Sections 7 and 25 of the Guardian and Wards
