Despite service of notice in the above transfer petition, the respondent has neither chosen to appear in person nor through counsel. The name of the respondent is also printed in the cause list.

I have also gone through the affidavit filed in support of the request for transfer.

The petitioner has stated that she has no source of income and she is living with her aged parents at Pondicherry and they may not be in a position to accompany her for all the hearing and it is very difficult to her for attending the proceedings before the Sub Court, Chidambaram.
