and entered in ‘nata’ marriage with the respondent on

14.06.2003. A criminal case was filed by the petitioner on

allegation of demand of dowry under secs.498A, 406 IPC wherein

(2 of 3)
[CTA-85/2017]

by the competent court on 17.10.2016 in the District court,

Chittorgarh. It was alleged that the respondent has filed

application under sec.13 of the Hindu Marriage Act before the

Family Court, Merta with a view to settle the scores with the

petitioner. It was contended that the petitioner being a lady,

having no independent source of income, is unable to appear

before the Family Court, Merta to contest the divorce case filed by

the respondent under sec.13 of the Act. There is distance of about

400 kms between Chittorgarh and Merta and there is

apprehension that the petitioner has to face dire consequences if

she appears before the Family Court at Merta.

Notices were issued to the respondent and an interim stay

was granted. After service, counsel for the respondent took time

to file reply but no reply has been filed nor any one has appeared

for the respondent.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

After the marriage, relation between the parties did not

remain cordial and a complaint under secs.498A, 406 IPC was

lodged, in which a charge-sheet was filed and ultimately vide

judgment dated 16.05.2016 the respondent was convicted. An

application filed by the petitioner under sec.125 CrPC was also

allowed by the Family Court, Chittorgarh. The respondent has filed

divorce petition under sec.13 of the Hindu Marriage Act before the

Family Court, Merta. The distance between two places is near

about 400 kms. The petitioner being a lady, having no

independent source of income, is also to face more inconvenience

in comparison to respondent. The learned counsel for the
(3 of 3)
[CTA-85/2017]

petitioner in support of his arguments relied on decisions reported

in 2017 (3) WLN 18 (Raj): Smt Vinita v. Himashu and 2017 (3)

WLN 49 (Raj): Smt Renu Kanwar alias Teena v. Ganga Singh

Shekhawat @ Pramod.

In view of the aforesaid decisions as also in view of

observations made by Hon’ble Supreme Court in Vaishali

Shridhar Jagtap v. Shridhar Vishwanath Jagtap reported in

2016 (4) WLN 237 (SC), considering the hardship of the

applicant lady, it is a fit case to be transferred.

Accordingly, this Transfer Application is allowed and the Civil

Case No.13/2017 (Nand Kishore Ozha v. Smt Aruna), filed by the

respondent for under sec.13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, pending

before the Family Court, Merta is ordered to be transferred to the

court of District Judge, Chittorgarh.
