It is further stated that the evidence in the petition for restitution of conjugal has been recorded and the matter is now posted for cross-examination of PW.1.

It is appropriate that both matters be decided together to avoid conflicting decisions. Therefore, this Court finds reasonable to transfer MC No.1596/2024 from the Court of the II Additional Principal Family Judge, Bengaluru, to the Court of the Principal Senior Civil Judge, Turuvekere, to try along with MC No.84/2024 and dispose both the matters at a time.
