It is further submitted that opposite party (her husband) has filed Original Suit No. 685 of 2024 under Section 13(1)(i-a) of the Hindu Marriage Act in the Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Ranchi. 5. It is also submitted that the petitioner is unable to contest the case instituted by her husband pending before Principal Judge, Family Court, Ranchi vide Original Suit No. 685 of 2024 under Section 13(1)(i-a) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 due to being a female/lady unable to travel from Daltonganj to Ranchi which is about 160 k.m. away and she is the only person to look after her ailing parents, therefore, the Original Suit No. 685 of 2024 pending before the Court of learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Ranchi be 2025:JHHC:17843 2 transferred to the Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Palamau at Daltonganj. 6. Learned counsel for the opposite party submits that the petitioner has also residential facility at Ranchi as her two sisters are residing there and she also regularly visits Ranchi. The opposite party is the only son of his parents, who are ailing and he has to look after them in absence of the petitioner and due to attendance at Daltonganj, there will be considerable hardship. This petition has only been filed with a view to harass the opposite party to call him at Daltonganj and there is apprehension of threat to him, since the father of the petitioner is an influential person. 7. Considering the overall aspects of the case and the submissions on behalf of the petitioner, I feel inclined, in the ends of justice, to allow the prayer of the petitioner. 8. Accordingly, the proceeding of Original Suit No. 685 of 2024, pending before the Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Ranchi is hereby transferred to the Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Palamau at Daltonganj. 9. Accordingly, the present transfer petition stands disposed of. (Pradeep Kumar Srivastava, J.) Arpit
