(3) It is submitted that earlier the Applicant had filed DV Proceedings against the Non-Applicant and his family members, which was duly participated by them. However, to save her marriage, the Applicant had withdrawn the said Proceedings, and thereafter, started residing at Nagpur along with the Non-Applicant. In September, 2023, the NonApplicant and his family members asked the Applicant to go back to Gondia by giving assurance that the Non-Applicant will come to Gondia to take her back. Despite the said assurance, the Non-Applicant did not come to take her back, and in April, 2024, she received a notice of the Family Court, Nagpur stating that the Non-Applicant has filed a Divorce Petition against her.

(4) Learned Counsel for the Applicant contends that the Applicant has no independent source of income and she is residing at the mercy of her brother and mother at Gondia. It is submitted that father of the Applicant has expired. If she is required to attend the Family Court, Nagpur frequently, she would face heavy hardship, as there is nobody else to support her. It appears that the Applicant has also filed Criminal Misc. Application bearing No. 349/2024 for maintenance which is pending before the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gondia. It is further submitted that the Applicant met with an accident by falling

from the stairs at the house itself and was hospitalized from 28/11/2024 to 17/12/2024. Medical certificate to that effect is placed on record by the Applicant in which it is stated that she has suffered fracture and tibia and fibula bone are severely damaged.

¶24

(5) In view of the above backdrop, I am of the considered opinion that it would be difficult and inconvenient for the Applicant to attend the Proceedings at Family Court, Nagpur. Even otherwise, it is the settled law that while considering the Application for transfer of the Proceedings, convenience of wife is required to be taken into consideration.

¶25

(6) Accordingly, I pass the following order:-

(a) The Application is allowed .
