Making his submission with regard to merits of the matter Sri.Venkatesh H.N., learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner is the legally wedded wife of the respondent. The respondent filed M.C.No.2338/2024 seeking a decree of divorce. Learned counsel states that the petitioner gave birth to twin female babies and they are aged 18 months at present. The petitioner is facing much hardship to visit Bengaluru and attend each and every adjournment, in the light of the fact that her children are tender aged and there are none - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:98 CP No. 257 of 2024 to look after them. Learned counsel thereby seeks to transfer the case as prayed for. 4. Sri.Kumara K.G., learned counsel for the respondent submits that the petitioner is working at Mandya and is residing there. There is no reason for her to seek for transfer to the Court at Mysuru, when there is Court at Mandya itself which can deal with the matter. Learned counsel also states that as the petitioner is residing at Mandya, it would be convenient for her to attend at Mandya and therefore the case may be transferred to Mandya. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner on hearing learned counsel for respondent seeks to pass orders in the light of the submission that is made by learned counsel for the respondent. 6. Thus, having considered the submission made by both the learned counsel, this Court is of the view that transfer of the case which is pending at Bengaluru can be effected to Mandya, so that the petitioner can conveniently attend the proceedings. 7.
