Solan, H.P. in the interest of law and justice.)” 1 Whether reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2 2025:HHC:22623 4. The contention of the petitioner is that the respondent has initiated the proceedings against the petitioner under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, which are presently pending before the Court of learned Presiding Judge, Family Court at Dharamshala, District Kangra, H.P. According to the petitioner, she is presently serving at Manimajra. Her salary is Rs.20,000/- per month. She is also looking after two minor children. She submits that under these circumstances, it is not possible for her to defend herself in the proceedings that have been initiated against the petitioner by the respondent at Dharamshala and the proceedings be ordered to be transferred to the Court of learned Additional District Judge, Family Court, Nalagarh. 5. Taking into consideration the averments made in the petition which have gone un-rebutted, this petition is allowed, as prayed for. This Court is of the considered view that in the light of the facts enumerated in the petition, it would be in the interest of justice in case the proceedings which are presently pending at Dharamshala, District Kangra, H.P., are transferred to Nalagarh, District Solan, H.P., so that the petitioner is in a position to defend herself property. As she is serving in Manimajra and also has to take care of her minor children, it is obviously difficult for her to defend herself at Dharamshala. 6. Accordingly, this petition is disposed of with the direction that petition bearing No.HMA/193/2024, titled Vinod 3 2025:HHC:22623 Kumar Sharma Vs.
