Kisko, District- Lohardaga (Jharkhand). … Petitioner Versus Dipak Ekka @ Deepak Ekka, aged about 29 years, Son of Shri Pavedan Ekka, Resident of Village- Arso, Dhaudhatoli, P.O.- Bero, P.S. Bero, District- Ranchi (Jharkhand). … Opposite Party Coram:HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE PRADEEP KUMAR SRIVASTAVA For the Petitioner : Mr. Sumit Prakash, Adv. Mr. Abhishek Kumar, Adv. For the Opp. Party : None Order No.09/Dated- 27th November, 2025 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, but none appears on behalf of opposite party as well as no counter affidavit has also been filed after granting sufficient time to the opposite party. 2. Instant transfer petition has been preferred for transfer of Original Suit No. 298 of 2025 from the learned Court of Principal District Judge-cum-Family Court, Ranchi to the learned court of the Principal Judge, Family Court, Lohardaga. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that marriage of the petitioner with opposite party was solemnized on 03.05.2023 at GEL Church Kocha in Lohardaga District as per Christian Rites and Rituals. After marriage, petitioner came to her matrimonial house and lived peacefully for a 05-06 months, but after some time the petitioner was subjected to mental and physical torture by the opposite party and her in-laws. The main reason for torture and physical assault due to extra-marital affair of the opposite party with another lady and another reason was demand of additional dowry of Rs. 5,00,000/- from the father of the petitioner. Parents of the petitioner tried to pacify the matter on several times, but all gone in vain and on October, 2024 the petitioner was ousted from her 2025:JHHC:35506 matrimonial house. Petitioner is living with her parents and sister and totally dependent upon them therefore, it is difficult for her to travel from Lohardaga to Ranchi to attend the court's proceeding. Hence, Original Suit No. 295 of 2025 which is pending before the Court of learned Principal District Judge-cum-Family Court, Ranchi may be transferred to learned Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Lohardaga. 4. Considering the contentions raised on behalf of the petitioner, I feel inclined, in the ends of justice, to allow the prayer for the petitioner. 5. Accordingly, Original Suit No. 295 of 2025 which is pending before the learned Court of Principal District Judge-cum-Family Court, Ranchi, is hereby transferred to learned court of the Principal Judge, Family Court, Lohardaga. 6. Accordingly, the present transfer petition is allowed. (Pradeep Kumar Srivastava, J.) Date:- 27.11.2025 Amar/- Uploaded.
