Facts in the nutshell for disposal of the case are as under: 4.1 Respondent has filed a matrimonial case before on the file of Civil Judge (Senior Division), Nanjangud for the relief of restitution of conjugal rights. 4.2 Whereas wife has filed petition at Family Court, Hubli for maintenance under Section 144 of BNSS. 4. It is the contention of the petitioner that after the maintenance case came to be filed, in order to avoid the liability, a case for restitution of conjugal right is filed at Nanjangud which makes it practically impossible for the petitioner/wife to effectively participate before the Court at Nanjanagud. Therefore sought for transfer of the petition to Family Court, Huballi. 5. Per contra, learned counsel for the respondent opposes the petition grounds. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:43984 CP No. 294 of 2025 6. Having heard the arguments of both sides, geographical distance and financial constraints are no longer good parameters for the transfer of a proceedings from one court to another in view of the video conferencing facility. 7. If the petitioner files a necessary application before the Court at Nanjangud, learned Trial Judge shall allow the said application and permit the petitioner to effectively participate through videoconference. 8. With that observations, the following Order: ORDER Civil Petition is dismissed. Sd/- (V SRISHANANDA) JUDGE SNC CT-SG List No.: 1 Sl No.: 49
