ORDER

¶12

This Transfer Civil Miscellaneous Petition is filed by the wife to transfer the petition in H.M.O.P.No.398 of 2021 pending on the file of the Family Court, Madurai, to the Sub Court at Thuraiyur.

¶13

2.The contention of the petitioner is that she has been deserted by her husband, since the respondent/husband was of a highly suspicious nature and was also upset by the fact that they did not have a child. Therefore, the petitioner was sent back to her paternal home in the month of January, 2021. The respondent has immediately filed a petition for divorce. The respondent is not supporting the petitioner financially and she is forced to depend on her parents. Further, the proceedings are now pending on the file of the Family Court, Madurai, where it is mandatory for the petitioner to appear for every hearing. She, therefore, seeks to have the matter transferred to the Sub Court, Thuraiyur, which also has jurisdiction, since the petitioner herein is residing within its jurisdiction.

¶14

3.When the respondent had entered appearance, this Court had directed the parties to mediate the dispute and the matter was sent for mediation to the Mediation and Conciliation Centre attached to this Bench and one Mr.M.R.Srinivasan, learned counsel was appointed as Mediator. However, the mediation efforts did not fructify and the matter was once again placed before this Court.
