It is stated that the petitioner has also filed Crl.Misc.No.730/2025 seeking maintenance before the same Court and the said case is still pending. The distance between Mangaluru and Mysuru is about 250 kilometers. In fact, the respondent/husband is working in Singapore - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:13887 CP No. 411 of 2025 and is not residing in the country. He has filed the present case in his native place only to trouble the petitioner. Their marriage was solemnized in the year 2010 and they were blessed with a child in the year 2015, who is now aged 11 years. The petitioner/wife is residing with her parents at Mysuru and she is not working or earning. 3. Notice was issued to the respondent; but it was returned with an endorsement “unclaimed”. Learned counsel for the petitioner further stated that when he appeared before the Family Court, a copy of the petition was also served upon him and he filed a memo to that effect. Therefore, despite having knowledge of the proceedings, he has neither appeared nor made any representation before this Court. Hence, considering the argument of the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court finds it reasonable to transfer M.C. No.421/2025 from the Principal Family Court, Dakshina Kannada at Mangaluru to the Court of II Additional Family Court, - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:13887 CP No. 411 of 2025 Mysuru, as it would be inconvenient for the petitioner to travel all the way along with a minor child. Accordingly, the civil petition is allowed. Sd/- (P SREE SUDHA) JUDGE AMA List No.: 1 Sl No.: 3
