Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:59217 Court No. - 2 Case :- TRANSFER APPLICATION (CIVIL) No. - 828 of 2023 Applicant :- Priti Opposite Party :- Sarvodaya Kumar Counsel for Applicant :- Mukesh Kumar Counsel for Opposite Party :- Aditya Narayan Pandey,Ajay Kumar Srivastava Hon'ble Neeraj Tiwari,J. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Ajay Kumar Srivastava, learned counsel for the opposite party. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that applicant is wife of opposite party and residing at Hardoi and opposite party has filed Case No. 394 of 2021 before Family Court, Farrukhabad, which is around 71 kilometers away from District Hardoi, therefore, it is very difficult for her to attend the Court proceedings at District Farrukhabad on each date fixed and defend effectively. He lastly submitted that Apex Court has taken constant view that in such cases convenience of the wife has to be taken into consideration. In support of his contention, he has placed reliance upon the judgments of the Hon'ble Apex Court in the cases of Mona Aresh Goel vs. Aresh Satya Goel, (2000) 9 SCC 255, Sumita Singh vs. Kumar Sanjay and another, (2001) 10 SCC 41, Rajni Kumari v. Raghvinder Sahay alias Babu, (2011) 11 SCC 176 and Vaishali Shridhar Jagtap vs. Shridhar Vishwanath Jagtap, (2016) 14 SCC 356 respectively. Sri Ajay Kumar Srivastava, learned counsel for the opposite party has opposed the submission, but could not dispute the legal and factual submission made by the learned counsel for the applicant. I have considered rival submissions advanced by learned counsels for parties and perused the records as well as judgments relied upon by counsel for applicant. Facts of the case are not disputed and controversy involved in the present case is squarely covered by the judgments relied upon by counsel for applicant. Therefore, under such facts and circumstances of the case, the transfer application is allowed. The proceeding of Case No. 394 of 2021 is withdrawn from the Principal Judge, Family Court, Farrukhabad. Principal Judge, Family Court, Farrukhabad is directed to transmit the record of Case No. 394 of 2021 to Principal Judge, Family Court, Hardoi within 15 days from the date of production of certified copy of this order. Thereafter, endeavour shall be made to decide the aforesaid case maximum within a period of six months as provided in Section 21-B of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 by the Principal Judge, Family Court Hardoi or other Additional Judge as per the Rules of the Family Court.
