The case of the petitioner is that she got married with the respondent on 08.02.2021 at Coimbatore. The petitioner was forcefully sent out of the matrimonial home by the respondent during November 2021 and from then on, the petitioner is staying along with her parents at Coimbatore. The respondent has filed a petition for divorce before the Subordinate Court, Alandur in H.M.O.P.No.371 of 2022, which is 600 kilometer away from her residence. As a lady, the petitioner finds it difficult to undertake long travel to Alandur to attend the Court proceedings.

Hence the petitioner has filed this TR.C.M.P.No.419 of 2023 to withdraw and transfer H.M.O.P.No.371 of 2022 on the file of the Subordinate Court, Alandur to the file of Family Court, Coimbatore to be tried along with H.M.O.P.NO.254 of 2023.
