Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. 3. Despite service of notice and also service effected on the counsel who appears for the respondent-wife before the Sub Court, Tiruchengode, the respondent has neither chosen to appear in person nor through counsel. Hence, the respondent is called and set ex-parte. 4. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, despite the fact that the respondent-wife had filed HMOP.No.235 of 2023 earlier than FCOP.No.383 of 2024, in view of the fact that OP filed by the petitioner-husband is pending before the Family Court, which is dedicated to deal with matrimonial disputes, it would be conducive for the parties to appear and have the dispute resolved by the Family Court. It is also her contention that the distance, that would be required to travel by the respondent to attend the proceedings before Family Court, Erode, would only be 17 kms, whereas in order to attend the proceedings before the Sub Court, Tiruchengode would be about 28 kms. 5.
