On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent vehemently opposes the prayer made on behalf of the applicant. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the paper-book. 6. In the present case, admittedly, the applicant-wife is not having any independent source of income and has also filed a petition under Section 144 of BNSS bearing No.MNT/72/2025 for grant of maintenance, which is pending adjudication before the learned Family Court at Sonipat, Camp Court at Gohana. Besides it, the applicant is also taking care of her daughter, namely, Nayra. 7. Furthermore, the Hon’ble Supreme Court in its decision rendered in “Manjula Singh Chouhan Versus Vishal Singh Chouhan”, reported as 2019 (13) SCC 660 held that, in the interest of both the parties, all connected matrimonial proceedings should ordinarily be heard by the same Court and, accordingly, allowed the transfer application therein. Relevant paragraphs No. 3 to 5 thereof are reproduced hereunder:- “3. As per the submission of the appellant, two cases are already pending in Family Court, Bhopal, and it will be in the interests of both the parties to try all their cases in Bhopal. Learned counsel for the respondent however, submits that it will suit to the appellant only, therefore, transfer may not be permitted. The fact remains that the respondent has to travel to Bhopal for conduct of other cases pending in Family Court, Bhopal. 4. We are of the view that it will be in the interests of both the parties that all their cases be heard together by the same Court. 5. Therefore, H.M.A. Case No.71/2016 is transferred from Family Court, Indore to the Family Court, Bhopal.” 8. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, in the humble TEJWINDER SINGH 2026.07.17 10:58 I agree to specified portions of this document 3 TA-1632-2025 opinion of this Court, since a maintenance petition under Section 144 BNSS is pending adjudication at Sonipat, therefore, it would be in the interest of both the parties that all their cases be heard together at the same place. Consequently the transfer application is allowed and the petition under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 i.e. DMC/542/2025, titled “Sumit Kumar vs. Parun”, filed by the respondent-husband, stands transferred from the Court of ld. Principal Judge, Family Court, Rewari to the Court of competent jurisdiction at Hoshiarpur. The requisite record of the aforesaid case be sent by the learned Family Court, Rewari to the Court concerned. 9. Pending miscellaneous application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of. 13.07.2026 (HARKESH MANUJA) Tejwinder JUDGE Whether speaking/reasoned Yes/No Whether reportable Yes/No TEJWINDER SINGH 2026.07.17 10:58 I agree to specified portions of this document
