- Mrs.S.Raveetha, the petitioner herein, having married Mr.K.Rameshkumar, the respondent herein on 3.9.2017 in the CKM Marriage Hall, Railway Station Road, Tirupattur Town, it is pleaded, fulfilled her duties as a respectful wife. It is also stated that the respondent has been working as Teacher in a private school in Barkoor. When the couple were living together only for six months, due to the misunderstanding that had cropped up between them, the petitioner was forcibly driven out of the matrimonial home. Even the in-laws also did not allow the petitioner to live happily with the respondent, because they always interfered with her personal affairs. Therefore, while the petitioner was in her parental home, taking advantage of that, the respondent has filed the H.M.O.P.No.32 of 2019 before the Sub Court, Tirupattur, Vellore District seeking divorce. As the distance from her place of residence to the Sub Court, Tirupattur is about 120 Kms., on one side, it will be difficult for the petitioner to undertake a long journey. Hence, she has been advised to come to this Court seeking transfer of the H.M.O.P.No.32 of 2019 from the file of the Sub Court, Tirupattur, Vellore District to the file of the Sub Court, Ranipet.
