and customs and out of the wedlock, one female child namely Bhavika was born who is presently 4 years and three months old and is residing with the petitioner. Since the petitioner-wife was tortured mentally and physically by the respondent-husband and his family members in connection with demand of dowry and was turned out of her matrimonial home on 2.10.2019, she moved application under Section 125 Cr.P.C. seeking maintenance before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Churu, which is pending consideration. However, with a view to harass and humiliate the petitioner, the respondent-husband has moved application under Section 13 (A) of the Hindu Marriage Act before the Additional District Judge No.1, Anupgarh. It is submitted that the petitioner is living with her parents at Churu along with her minor child. The distance between Anupgarh to Churu is more than 260 kilometers. She is fully dependent upon her parents. Therefore, it is very difficult for the petitioner to travel from Churu to Anupgarh along with her minor female child and defend the case instituted by the respondent husband. In these facts and circumstances, learned counsel submits that since the case instituted by the petitionerwife seeking maintenance is pending consideration at Churu, in the interest of justice, the case filed by the respondent-husband pending before Additional District Judge No.1, Anupgarh deserves to be transferred to Family Court, Churu.
