The petitioner has, therefore, filed present application seeking transfer of proceedings to the District Nashik mainly on the ground that she is staying at Kalwan with her parents and has no independent source of income as her father is handicap and hardly earns any income. The village Kanashi is remotely located small town and has no direct rail connectivity. The distance between Nashik to Kanashi is 70 km. Last bus available from Nashik to Kanashi is at 05:00 p.m. Therefore, traveling is inconvenient.
