The petitioner, Tmt. Valarmathi, has filed H.M.O.P. No. 207 of 2020 against her husband/the respondent herein before the Family Court, Cuddalore, under Section 9 of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 for restitution of conjugal rights. On the other hand, the respondent herein/husband has filed H.M.O.P. No. 72 of 2020 before the Additional Sub Court, Kallakurichi seeking divorce. Since the Additional Sub Court, Kallakurichi is about 100 Kms from Cuddalore, the petitioner has come before this Court seeking transfer of H.M.O.P. No. 72 of 2020 from the file of Additional Sub Court, Kallakurichi to the file of Family Court, Cuddalore, where H.M.O.P. No. 207 of 2020 is pending, for a joint trial.

¶10

The learned counsel for the petitioner would state that after the solemnisation of the marriage between the petitioner and the respondent on 30.10.2017 at Sri Chidambareswarar Temple, Kallakurichi, as per Hindu rites and customs, they were blessed with a male child on 23.09.2018 and the child was named as Sanjay. As the respondent/husband is working as a medical representative in Pondicherry, it would not be difficult for him to travel from Pondicherry to Cuddalore and therefore, according to the learned counsel, no prejudice will be caused to him if

No. 207 of 2020 for restitution of conjugal rights is pending so that both the matters can be taken up together.
