Page No.1 of 4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Tr.CMP.No.556 of 2025 2. The respondent/husband opposes the present transfer application on the ground that he would be put to inconvenience if he is forced to attend the proceedings before the Family Court, Salem, since his presence before the Subordinate court, Alandur is not necessary. 3. I have heard the learned counsel on either side and I have also gone through the affidavit filed in support of this transfer petition. 4. I am satisfied that the petitioner has made out case for transfer as prayed for. However, at the same time, considering the objections of the respondent/husband, in order to balance equities, this Court, while allowing the present transfer application as prayed for by withdrawing the case in OP.No.189 of 2025 from the file of the learned Subordinate Judge, Alandur and transferring the same to the file of the Family Court, Salem, directs the Transferee Court not to insist on the physical presence of the respondent/husband for all hearings, except where it would be absolutely necessary.
