This Transfer Application under sec.24 CPC has been filed for

Amrin Salam), pending before the learned Judicial Magistrate,
Chittorgarh to the Family Court, Udaipur.
Briefly stated, marriage of the parties was solemnized on
04.01.2016. Soon after the marriage, the petitioner was harassed
by the respondent and his other family members for demand of
dowry. She was also ousted out of her matrimonial home while
she was carrying a child, expected to be delivered on 27.02.2017.

respondent and his family members, the petitioner filed a
complaint, which was registered as FIR No.168/2016 in Mahila

aforesaid FIR, a charge-sheet was submitted agianst the
respondent for offence under secs.498A 406 IPC and the matter
is pending trial at the concerned court at Udaipur.
The respondent, after getting knowledge of the FIR, filed an
application for restitution of conjugal rights before the Judicial
Magistrate, Chittorgarh on 17.10.2016. The petitioner, being a
lady, is facing difficulty in attending the court at Chittorgarh.
On the grounds and facts stated for transfer of the case,
notice was issued and on 18.07.2017, counsel for the respondent
appeared and prayed for time but today, no one has appeared for
the respondent nor any reply has been filed.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.
The petitioner filed an FIR against the respondent, in which
after investigation a charge-sheet has been filed for offence under
secs.498A 406 IPC and the matter is pending trial before the
concerned court at Udaipur. Presently, the petitioner is living with

laid down by Hon’ble Supreme Court in Vaishali Shridhar Jagtap
v. Shridhar Vishwanath Jagtap reported in 2016 (4) WLN
237 (SC), it is a fit case to be transferred.
