Patratu (Barkakana) District- Ramgarh. … Petitioner Versus Ravindra Kumar Das, aged about 38 years, Son of Sri Chhedi Ram, resident of Mohalla Manjhila, Chumba, P.O. Barka Chumba, P.S.- Giddi, District- Ramgarh. … Opposite Party Coram:HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE PRADEEP KUMAR SRIVASTAVA For the Petitioner : Mr. Aditya Banerjee, Adv. For the Opp. Party : Order No.03/Dated- 04th February, 2026 1. The notice duly served upon the opposite party as the same was received by the sister-in-law of the opposite party, but no one has appeared to contest the case. 2. Instant transfer petition has been preferred for transfer of Original Matrimonial Suit No. 25 of 2025 from the learned Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Hazaribagh to the learned court of the Principal Judge, Family Court, Ramgarh. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that marriage of the petitioner with opposite party was solemnized on 08.03.2018 and out of their wedlock, the couple was blessed with a son. The opposite party had continuously been demanding money and other things from the petitioner (wife) and her family members. The family of the petitioner gave Rs.5,51,000/- cash, jewelry worth Rs.3,00,000/- and other items, but on 08.06.2019, during the function of new born baby, opposite party (husband) and his family members made demand for one bullet motorcycle and 2,00,000/- lakh rupees in cash from the family members of the petitioner (wife) and due to non-fulfillment of such demand, petitioner (wife) always subjected to cruelty and harassment by the opposite party (husband) and his family members. Ultimately, the opposite party (husband) and his 2026:JHHC:2859 family members threw the petitioner out of her matrimonial house. The petitioner (wife) informed in Ramgarh Mahila Police Station on 31.10.2020, but no action was taken by the police, therefore, the petitioner filed a case bearing Complaint Case No. 503/2020 in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ramgarh. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submitted that after being ousted from the matrimonial house, the petitioner with her minor son is residing with her parental home at Ramgarh and she has no independent source of income and is not getting any maintenance from the opposite party. It is difficult for the petitioner to travel from Ramgarh to Hazaribagh with her minor son and it is also not possible to leave her son as the father of the petitioner is also ailing person and unable to look after her minor son. 4. Considering the contentions raised on behalf of the petitioner, I feel inclined, in the ends of justice to allow the prayer of the petitioner. 5. Accordingly, Original Matrimonial Suit No. 25 of 2025 which is pending before the learned Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Hazaribagh, is hereby transferred to the learned Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Ramgarh. 6. Accordingly, the present transfer petition is allowed. (Pradeep Kumar Srivastava, J.) Date:- 04.02.2026 Amar/- Uploaded.
