The distance between the Bagalkot and Lokapur is more than 60 kms, and the petitioner needs to change buses before reaching Bagalkot from Lokapur, this being so, it is very difficult for her to travel alone since she is handicapped to Bagalkot whenever the case is taken up for hearing, at Bagalkot. ii. The petitioner submits that, she has no any source of income, and nobody is there to accompany the - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC-D:12832 CP No. 100166 of 2025 petitioner and she is not working and not able to maintain herself and her daughter and she not in a position to spend for travelling and there is harassment at Bagalkot and it has become very difficult to the petitioner to attend at Bagalkot. iii. That, even though the petitioner is ever ready to lead happy married life despite all these shortcoming from his side in the past, but unable look after herself, the petitioner is presently residing at Lokapur.
