1 901.odt IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD MISC. CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 271 OF 2024 YOGESH MURALIDHAR MAHALE VERSUS TEJASHREE YOGESH MAHALE ... Advocate for Applicant : Mr. Bhushan Mahajan … CORAM : ABHAY J. MANTRI, J. DATE : 12TH JUNE, 2026 PER COURT : 1. The Applicant/husband has filed this Application seeking transfer of the Domestic Violence proceeding bearing PWDVA No. 256/2023, pending before the learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Jalgaon, to the learned Family Court, Pune. 2. Heard the learned Advocate for the Applicant. No one appears for the Respondent when the matter is called out. 3. It is pertinent to note that despite the Respondent appearing, she failed to file a reply to the Application. The said fact itself indicates that she has no grievance regarding the averments made in the Application and, therefore, has not filed a reply. 2026:BHC-AUG:23030 2 901.odt 4. Learned Advocate for the Applicant vehemently contended that the Respondent and her children are residing at Pune. He has also taken me through the order dated 02.08.2024, passed in Miscellaneous Civil Application No. 27/2024, and pointed out paragraph no. 3, wherein this Court has categorically observed that all the Respondents are residents of Pune. He also showed the bona fide certificates issued by the school and college to their children. Similarly, the bailiff’s report in the present case indicates that the Respondent is residing at Pune. The said facts support the learned Advocate for the Applicant's contention. 5. Thus, prima facie, it seems that though the Respondent, with her children, is residing at Pune, has filed the proceeding under the Domestic Violence Act before the JMFC, Jalgaon, to harass the Applicant and his family members, who are also residing at Pune. Therefore, in my view, it would be appropriate to transfer the Domestic Violence proceeding from Jalgaon to Pune. 6. Apart from that, by order of this Court in MCA No. 27/2024, dated 02.08.2024, three matters between the same parties have been transferred from Family Court, Jalgaon, to Family Court, Pune. Therefore, it would also be appropriate to transfer this proceeding to Pune to avoid multiplicity of proceedings and the inconvenience caused to the parties. 3 901.odt 7. Consequently, the Application is allowed in terms of prayer clause ‘B’. 8. Inform the concerned Courts accordingly. 9. The Application is disposed of. ( ABHAY J. MANTRI, J. ) SPC
