¶12

ORDER : This petition coming on for hearing on this day, upon perusing the affidavit and material papers filed, and the earlier Order of this Court dated 18/12/2017 and upon hearing the arguments of M/S.A.SIVAJI, Advocate for the petitioner and of Mr.K.Sekar, Advocate for the Respondent, this Court made the following Order:-

¶13

These Civil Miscellaneous Petitions have been filed to recall the order dated 18.12.2017 and thereby, to restore the Tr.CMP(MD) No.517 of 2017 and to stay all further proceedings in HMOP No.14 of 2018 on the file of Family Court, Srivilliputhur pending disposal of the above Tr.CMP(MD) No.517 of 2017.

¶14

This Court, by an order dated 18.12.2017 in Tr.CMP(MD) https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ No.517 of 2017 has observed as follows:

¶15

"In the result, this petition is allowed. HMOP No.175 of 2017 is pending on the file of the Principal Sub Court, Tenkasi, is directed to be transferred to the file of the Family Court, Srivilliputhur, for disposal. The Transferee Court is directed to expedite the trial and dispose of the case as early as possible. consequently, the connected Civil Miscellaneous Petition is closed."

¶16

The learned Counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is unable to move anywhere, due to his right leg fracture. He would further submit that the petitioner has given Vakkalat on 9.12.2017 and the same was filed before this Court on 15.12.2017. Unfortunately, in the cause list, instead of the counsel name, the petitioner name was printed. Since the Counsel name was not printed, the counsel was unable to attend the case at the time of hearing.

¶17

The learned Counsel for the respondent would contend that in order to drag on the proceedings, the petitioner has filed this petition.

¶18

It is well settled law that convenience of woman is paramount while considering transfer application as held by the Supreme Court in the judgment reported in 2008(9)SCC 353 (Arti Rani @ Pinki Devi and another Vs. Dharmendra Kumar Gupta) . Even if the petitioner/respondent is permitted to argue, the result would be the same. There is no merit in these applications and hence, these Civil Miscellaneous Petitions are liable to be dismissed. However, considering the request of the petitioner, the Registry is directed to print the name of Mr.A.Sivaji, learned Counsel for the petitioner/ respondent in the order copy dated 18.12.2017 and issue fresh order copy.

¶19

With the above observation, these Civil Miscellaneous Petitions are dismissed. No costs.
