1. Heard Shri Dipesh Singh, learned counsel for the applicant, and the learned counsel appearing for the respondent, who will file his Vakalatnama in the Registry. 2. The present petition has been filed under Section 24 seeking the transfer of H.M.A. Petition No. 356 of 2025 (Yash Rana Vs. Riya Singh), filed under Section 13(1) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, pending before the learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Lucknow. 3. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the applicant is a housewife with no source of income and is currently residing in Gorakhpur, as such, it will not be convenient for her to attend the proceedings in Lucknow. It also transpires from the record that earlier in between the parties, proceedings were initiated under Section 13(B) of the Hindu Marriage Act, in which the first motion was also passed, however, before the second motion could be accepted, the applicant, did not give her consent. As a result of this lack of consent for the proceedings under Section 13(B), the respondent filed H.M.A. Petition No. 356 of 2025. 4. Learned counsel for the respondent states that he has no objection if the matter is transferred to the Principal Judge, Family Court, Gorakhpur, however, he wants that the matter be decided expeditiously. 5. Considering the said submissions, the proceedings of H.M.A. Petition No.356 of 2025 are transferred from the Family Court, Lucknow, to Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Gorakhpur. Both the parties shall appear before the Principal Judge, Family Court, Gorakhpur, on 24.09.2025. Thereafter, the Principal Judge, Family Court, Gorakhpur shall make earnest endeavour to decide the case with all expedition, without granting unnecessary adjournments to either party. 6. It is made clear that in view of the directions above, no notices need to be served to any of the parties. The non-appearance of either party before the Principal Judge, Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Ishan Baghel Counsel for Opposite Party(s) :
Riya Singh .....Applicant(s) Yash Rana .....Opposite Party(s)
