¶12

The petitioner/wife seeks transfer of H.M.O.P.No.52 of 2020 filed by the husband seeking divorce, to the Family Court, Thanjavur, to be tried along with H.M.O.P.No.193 of 2020, filed by her, seeking Restitution of Conjugal Rights.

¶13

2.Transfer is sought for on the ground of convenience and to avoid conflicting verdicts.

¶14

3.Considering the scope of the petition as well as the averments made in the affidavit filed in support of this application and the fact that the spouses are medical practitioners, I am of the opinion that the petitions should be heard together before the Sub court, where, the appearance of the parties is not mandatory. By transfer of the proceedings to the Sub Court, the inconvenience that would be caused to both the parties could be largely reduced.

¶15

4.In view of the same, H.M.O.P.No.52 of 2020 and H.M.O.P.No.193 of 2020 are withdrawn from the file of the Sub Court, Palani and the Family Court, Thanjavur, respectively and transferred to the Additional Sub Court, Thanjavur, to be tried in accordance with law. The Sub Court, Palani and the Family Court, Thanjavur are directed to transmit the papers to the Additional Sub Court, Thanjavur forthwith.
