¶25

Tr.CMP.No.1202 of 2024 is no one to accompany her for every hearing, causing hardship in

¶26

effectively contesting the proceedings at Tindivanam.

¶27

The petitioner also states that she has to take care of her aged

¶28

father, who is stated to be a diabetic patient and having arthritis problem, and therefore regular travel to Tindivanam would cause both mental and physical hardship.

¶29

In matters of transfer under Section 24 C.P.C., this Court is required to balance convenience and the ends of justice. When the applicant demonstrates genuine difficulty in prosecuting/defending the proceedings at the place where it is pending, and when no serious prejudice is shown to be caused to the opposite party, transfer can be ordered to secure effective participation and fair adjudication.

¶30

In the case on hand, the petitioner’s residence is at Alandur

¶31

and the pleaded distance and attendant circumstances disclose a reasonable and bonafide difficulty to appear before the Court at Tindivanam for every hearing. The transfer sought is to the Sub Court
