JUDGMENT 1. - Heard learned counsel for the applicant (wife) and respondent (husband). 2. This transfer application has been filed by the applicant-wife seeking transfer of proceedings under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act of Civil Misc. Case No. 7/2010 (Mahendra Pal v. Smt. Reetu) pending in the Court of learned Additional District Judge, Bandikui, Dausa to the Court of District Judge, Sriganganagar. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant-wife submits that marriage between the applicant and respondent took place on 22.11.2004 at Sriganganagar and out of their wedlock, one female child was born and she is also living with the applicant at Sriganganagar. Learned counsel for the applicant also pointed out that certain other proceedings under Section 498-A of Indian Penal Code and under the provisions of Domestic Violence Act are also pending in different Courts at Sriganganagar, therefore, the present divorce petition under Section 13 of Hindu Marriage Act filed by the respondent-husband also deserves to be transferred to Sriganganagar. 4. Initially, learned counsel for the respondent-husband raised objection as to jurisdiction of this Court to deal with this transfer application on the ground that present proceedings are pending at Dausa i.e. within the jurisdiction of High Court at Jaipur Bench); and therefore, this transfer application cannot be heard at principal seat at Jodhpur. However, he did not press this point and even otherwise, this Court is the view that since the transfer is sought from Dausa to Sriganganagar, and latter being the district admittedly within the territorial jurisdiction of the principal seat of this Court, the objection initially raised by the learned counsel for the respondent is misconceived and, therefore, was rightly not pressed by him. 5. On merits of the transfer petition, it is found that the ground on which the transfer of the proceedings are sought by the applicant-wife are reasonable and germane. The distance between Sriganganagar and Dausa is more than 500 kilometers and the applicant-wife is residing at Sriganganagar in the compelling circumstances with girl child and marriage in question, which took place on 22.11.2004 appears to have broken-down very early after birth of the girl child. 6.
