Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:56865 Court No. - 2 Case :- TRANSFER APPLICATION (CIVIL) No. - 892 of 2024 Applicant :- Smt. Anuja Bajpayi Opposite Party :- Dhruv Pathak Counsel for Applicant :- Indu Tewari,Ravi Kant Shukla Counsel for Opposite Party :- Amar Jeet Upadhyay Hon'ble Neeraj Tiwari,J. Heard. Sri Amar Jeet Upadhyay, learned counsel for the opposite party submitted that he would have no objection in case petition is allowed and further requested that suitable direction may be issued to Family Court to decide the case within time bound manner.
Brief facts of the case are that applicant is wife of opposite party and residing at Meerut. and opposite party has filed Matrimonial Case No. 1610 of 2024 before Family Court, Meerut, which is around 229 kilometers away from District Bareilly, therefore, it is very difficult for her to attend the Court proceedings at District Meerut on each date fixed and defend effectively. The Apex Court in the cases of Mona Aresh Goel vs. Aresh Satya Goel, (2000) 9 SCC 255, Sumita Singh vs. Kumar Sanjay and another, (2001) 10 SCC 41, Rajni Kumari v. Raghvinder Sahay alias Babu, (2011) 11 SCC 176 and Vaishali Shridhar Jagtap vs. Shridhar Vishwanath Jagtap, (2016) 14 SCC 356 has taken constant view that in such cases convenience of the wife has to be taken into
consideration. I have considered the statement given by learned counsel for the opposite party and perused the records as well as judgments. The controversy involved in the present case is squarely covered by the judgments relied hereinabove. Therefore, under such facts and circumstances of the case, the transfer application is allowed. The proceeding of Matrimonial Case No. 1610 of 2024 is withdrawn from the Principal Judge, Family Court, Meerut. Principal Judge, Family Court, Meerut is
directed to transmit the record of Matrimonial Case No. 1610 of 2024 to Principal Judge, Family Court, Bareilly within 15 days from the date of production of certified copy of this order.
Thereafter, endeavour shall be made to decide the aforesaid case maximum within a period of six months as provided in Section 21- B of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 by the Principal Judge, Family Court, Bareilly or other Additional Judge as per the Rules of the Family Court
