Namitha Mahesh, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri. S. Venugopala, learned counsel for the respondent. 2. Petition is filed by the wife under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure with the following prayer: PRAYER IN CP NO.228/2025 WHEREFORE, it is prayed that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to transfer the above M.C.No.29/2025 pending before the Senior Civil Judge and JMFC Doddaballapur, produced as ANNEXURE-'B' to the Family Court in Bangalore in the interest of justice and equity. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:52572 CP No. 264 of 2025 C/W CP No. 228 of 2025 PRAYER IN CP NO.264/2025: WHEREFORE, it is prayed that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to transfer the above M.C.No.3/2025 pending before the Senior Civil Judge and CJM, Doddaballapur, produced as ANNEXURE-'A' to the Family Court in Bangalore in the interest of justice and equity. 2.1 On account of strained matrimonial relationship, petitioner/wife filed a petition before the Civil Judge (Senior Division), Doddaballapura under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act in MC No.29/2025. 2.2 Husband has filed a petition for divorce in M.C.No.3/2025 on the file of the Senior Civil Judge and CJM, Doddaballapura. 3. Now she is seeking the transfer of the said proceedings from Doddaballapura to Bangalore on the ground of her ill-health and having an young child of one and a half years and as such she is unable to travel to Doddaballapura for attending the pending matrimonial case. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:52572 CP No. 264 of 2025 C/W CP No. 228 of 2025 4. Grounds of transfer is opposed by the counsel for respondent by contending that on her volition she filed the petition before the Civil Judge (Senior Division) Doddaballapura where the cause of action admittedly arose. Therefore, petition relief cannot be granted. 5. Having heard the arguments of both sides, this Court perused the metal on record meticulously. On such perusal, it is noticed that Medical records placed on record by the petitioner would make out that on account of hypothyroidism she was admitted to M.S. Ramaiahn Hospital and she has been treated and discharged. However, the doctors have advised that in the event of some emergency conditions like fever more than 101.5 degrees, giddiness, chills, vomiting, severe discomfort, she has to again contact the doctor. 6. These conditions along with rearing a young child would make it difficult for her to attend the Court at - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:52572 CP No. 264 of 2025 C/W CP No. 228 of 2025 Doddaballapura in respect of M.C. No.9/2025, is no doubt difficult. 7. But that cannot be the sole ground on which the transfer of the pending proceedings can be allowed in view of video conferencing facility. 8. If the petitioner applies for permission to appear through video conferencing in M.C. No.29/2025 and MC No.3/2025, the learned Trial Judge shall permit the her to do so. 9. With that direction, following order : ORDER Civil Petitions are dismissed. Sd/- (V SRISHANANDA) JUDGE SNC CT:SG List No.: 1 Sl No.: 29
