IN THE JUDICATURE OF HIGH COURT AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD 912 MISC.CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 249 OF 2026 Rajashree Machindra Thete VERSUS Machhindra Babulal Thete ... Advocate for Applicant : Mr. Rodge Krishna Pratap ... CORAM : ROHIT W. JOSHI, J. Dated : September 02, 2026 PER COURT :- 1. The present application is filed seeking transfer of Marriage Petition No. 70 of 2026 from the Court of learned Civil Judge, Senior Division, Chalisgaon to the Court of learned Civil Judge, Senior Division, Kopargaon. 2. The applicant-wife is aged around 41 years. The distance between the two places is around 100 kilometers. Both cities are sufficiently big cities which are well connected by road and rail. The children of the parties are staying with the non-applicant husband. 3. Except for the statement that the wife does not have any source of income and will face financial hardship in traveling from Kopargaon to Chalisgaon for attending the court case, and that there is nobody to accompany her for attending the court proceedings at Chalisgaon, no other ground is raised in support of the transfer application.

Having regard to the distance between the two places as also the connectivity by modes of public transport, this Court sees no reason to allow the application. The application is therefore rejected. 5. As far as the contention with respect to financial hardship is concerned, the same can be taken care of by moving an appropriate application before the learned Court seeking directions to the husband to make payment of an appropriate amount for traveling and other expenses, as well as seeking permission for the applicant- wife to appear through video conferencing. 6. In the event the applicant-wife makes an application for appearance through video-conferencing, the same may be considered favorably and permission to appear through video- conferencing may be granted on such dates and at such stages as is deemed appropriate by the learned concerned Court.
