Wife's application to transfer husband's divorce petition from Family Court, Yavatmal to Civil Judge Senior Division, Warora (on ground of no conveyance from Chimur to Yavatmal) rejected; court reasoned that the applicant, who works in Nagpur and travels from Chimur to Nagpur, can equally travel from Nagpur to Yavatmal. Convenience-based transfer of matrimonial proceedings; no statute or precedent discussed; no costs or quantum involved.
What did the court decide?
Since the applicant is a working lady doing her job in Nagpur and travels from Chimur to Nagpur, she can likewise travel from Nagpur to Yavatmal; therefore there is no need to transfer the matter from Yavatmal to Warora. ¶17
