JUSTICE PRADEEP KUMAR SRIVASTAVA For the Petitioner : Mr. Sumit Prakash, Adv. For the Opp. Party : Order No.07/Dated- 11th July, 2025 1. It is clear from the office note dated 20.06.2025, the notice was validly served upon the opposite party, but he has not appeared either personally or through his counsel. 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. 3. Instant transfer petition has been preferred for transfer of Original Suit No. 340 of 2024 from the Court of learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Deoghar to the Court of learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Giridih. It is submitted that petitioner’s husband i.e. opposite party has filed Original Suit No. 340 of 2024 under Section 13(1)(i-a)(i-b) of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 for grant of divorce. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the marriage of the petitioner (wife) with the opposite party (husband) was solemnized on 23.11.2021 according to Hindu Rites and Customs. After marriage, the petitioner came to her matrimonial 2025:JHHC:18781 p. 2 house where the petitioner lived peacefully for a period of 03 months and after that she was subjected to mental and physical torture by the opposite party and his family-in-laws however, out of their wedlock they were blessed with one baby girl. After the birth of girl child, the torturous attitude of the opposite party and his family became brutal and she was not even having proper food by the opposite party and his family members. The parents of the petitioner tried to pacify the matter several times, but when the petitioner went to her matrimonial home there was no change in the behavior of the opposite party and his family members. On 20.03.2022, the opposite party (husband) and his family members had ousted the petitioner (wife) from the house and she went to her parental home along with his father. 5. Considering the contentions raised on behalf of the petitioner, I feel inclined, in the ends of justice, to allow the prayer for the petitioner. 6. Accordingly, the proceeding of Original Suit No. 340 of 2024, pending before the Court of learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Deoghar is hereby, transferred to the learned Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Giridih. 7. Accordingly, the present transfer petition is allowed. (Pradeep Kumar Srivastava, J.) Amar/- Uploaded.
