The ground for transfer of petition invoking Section 407 of Cr.P.C is that earlier petitioner No.1 along with petitioner Nos.2 and 3 were staying in Mangaluru and subsequently, they shifted to the Bengaluru. The counsel - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:10649 CRL.P No. 10640 of 2024 for the respondent also not disputes the fact that the respondent is staying abroad and only objection raised that the very petition itself is not maintainable. The question of maintainability of the petition has to be decided by the Trial Court. Thus, the said objection is kept open for consideration of the matter. 3. Having considered the fact that petitioner No.1 along with her children i.e., petitioner Nos.2 and 3 are staying at Bengaluru and the children are also pursuing their education in Bengaluru, it is appropriate to transfer Crl.Misc.No.47/2024 to the Family Court at Bengaluru from the Principal Family Court at Mangalore. Accordingly, the petition is disposed of. Sd/- (H.P.SANDESH) JUDGE SN
