and is under continuous medical treatment. Now the petitioner/wife is residing along with her brother at Bangalore. The wife has also filed MC 1862/2025 for divorce including maintenance before Principal Judge, Family Court, Bengaluru. Thus requested for transfer of MC No.20/2025 filed by husband for divorce.
4. As both the applications are for divorce, this Court finds it reasonable that it is to be decided by same Court to avoid conflicting decisions and thus MC.No.20/2025 filed before Senior Civil Judge, Doddaballapura is to be transferred to Additional Family Court, Bangalore, to try along with MC No.1862/2025. In the result, the petition is allowed.
