under sec.13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, which is also pending

adjudication at Dausa, be transferred to Sri Ganganagar. There is

no ground made out for transfer of Case No.07/2016 (Mahendra

Puri v. Reetu) under sec.13 of the Hindu Marriage Act pending in

the court of Additional District Judge, Bandikui. The Transfer

Application is dismissed.
