regular source of income of her own, to afford the travel to Karad,
Satara, every time the Divorce proceeding is listed there. Learned
Counsel submits that the Applicant also has to look after her teen aged
daughter and son. Learned Counsel submits that the distance between
Sangli and Satara is more than 79 kilometers and requires 8 hours to
and fro journey by train. Therefore, for the Applicant to travel to Satara
from Sangli, would not only be inconvenient but also cause undue
hardship. Learned Counsel submits that on the other hand, the
Respondent being employed in the Army Cantonment earns a salary of
Rs.50,000/- per month in addition to having 20 acres agricultural land,
his own house as well as income of Rs.10,000/- to Rs.15,000/- per
month from milch animals at his house. That, though the Respondent is
financially capable, he has failed to take responsibility of the Applicant
or her children. Neither he has provided any accommodation nor
medical treatment nor education and only inflicted abuses, violence
and torture upon them. That, therefore, it would not be inconvenient
for the Respondent to travel to Sangli if the Divorce proceeding is
transferred there, as in any event, the Domestic Violence proceedings
are also pending in Sangli although the Respondent does not attend.
