On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent vehemently opposes the prayer made on behalf of the applicant. 5.

In the present case, the petitioner along with her minor son has to travel a distance of around 260 kilometers from Charkhi Dadri to Panchkula which causes a great deal of inconvenience to her. Moreover, the minor son namely, Akshaj is suffering from chronic bronchitis and is undergoing treatment at Panchkula. 7. Further, reliance can be placed upon the judgments in “Sumita Singh Vs. Kumar Sanjay”, 2002 SC 396 and “Rajani Kishor Pardeshi Vs. Kishor Babulal Pardeshi, 2005(12) SCC 237, wherein the Hon’ble Supreme Court has observed that “while deciding the transfer application, the Courts are required to give more weightage and consideration to the convenience of the female litigants and transfer of legal proceedings from one Court to another should ordinarily be allowed, taking into consideration their convenience and the Courts should desist from putting female litigants under undue hardships.” 8. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, in the humble opinion of this Court, since the distance between Charkhi Dadri and Panchkula is approximately 260 kilometres and the minor son namely Akshaj is undergoing treatment for chronic bronchitis at Panchkula, therefore, it would be in the interest of justice that petitioner under Section 13(1)(ia)(ib) titled “Shashi Rani Vs.
