2.It is stated in the petition that the marriage between the

petitioner and the respondent was solemnized on 06.02.2014. After

marriage, due to misunderstanding, the respondent / husband filed

H.M.O.P.No.109 of 2017 on the file of the Sub Court, Ramanathapuram

for restitution of conjugal rights. Thereafter, the issue has been settled

between them and the said petition has been closed. Thereafter, both

of them lived happily. Later, due to misunderstanding, the respondent

harassed the petitioner and also filed H.M.O.P.No.167 of 2018 seeking

divorce with the false allegations. The grievance of the petitioner is that

the respondent being a resident of Ramanathapuram, has filed the

above divorce petition at the Sub Court, Ramanathapuram, whereas the

petitioner is residing at Thanajvur, along with her aged parents and as

she is depending upon her aged parents, it is very difficult for her to

travel about 350 kms from Thanjavur to Ramanathapuram for attending

each and every hearing of the case. She also apprehends threat at the

hands of the respondent / husband.

3.The learned counsel for the petitioner reiterated the averments

made in the petition.

4.The learned Counsel for the respondent would vehemently

oppose to the grant of relief. He would also submit that the

respondent / husband suffered from severe heart ailment due to the

continuous mental torture of the petitioner / wife. The doctor advised

him not to travel in any car or lift anything. He also submitted a copy of

discharge summary issued to the respondent / husband by SRM Institute

for Medical Science, Vadapalani, wherein it is stated as follows:

Provisional Diagnosis: Chronic Type A Dissection
Trileaflet Aortic Valve Mild Aortic Regurgitation Good LV
Function (EF – 61%) Normal Coronaries Systemic
Hypertension.

Final Diagnosis : Chronic Type A Dissection Trileaflet
Aortic Valve Mild Aortic Regurgitation Good LV Function (EF –
61%) Normal Coronaries Systemic Hypertension.

Surgery: Frozen Elephant Trunk + Aortic Arch
Replacement by Using 24MM Vascutek Graft on 22.11.2018”.

Thus, he prayed to transfer H.M.O.P.No.167 of 2018 to the file of the

Court, which situates in the middle of Ramanathapuram and Thanjavur.

5.Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned

counsel for the respondent and perused the materials available on

record.

6.The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the judgment reported in 2008

(9)SCC 353 (Arti Rani @ Pinki Devi and another Vs. Dharmendra

Kumar Gupta), has held that convenience of woman is to be taken into

consideration while considering transfer application. After elaborate

arguments, in the present circumstances of the case, the learned
