ORDER 1. Read the office report dated 25th October, 2024. 2. The marriage between the petitioner, Reenu, and the respondent- husband, Siddhartha, was solemnized on 09th November, 2008. Two sons were born from the wedlock. However, the parties have since drifted apart owing to differences having arisen between them. 3. The petitioner by filing this petition under Section 25 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, has sought for transfer of Matrimonial Case No.2552/2019 titled as “Siddhartha Wagav vs. Reenu Wagav”, from the court of the Principal Judge, Family Court, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh to the court of the Principal Judge, Family Court, Saket, New Delhi on the multiple grounds raised therein. 4. The respondent is a judicial officer belonging to the Uttar Pradesh Higher Judicial Service and because of his position and proximity with other judicial officers, the petitioner apprehends that while contesting the divorce case instituted by the respondent and also in pressing her claim for maintenance, she is unlikely to get a fair treatment from the Court. The same sentiment was expressed by a coordinate Bench of this Court on 16th February, 2024, when this transfer petition was entertained. 5. Justice must not only be done; it must be seen to have been done [Lord Hewart, Chief Justice of England]. 6. Bearing in mind this universal truth, we see no reason to decline the prayer for transfer. 7. At this stage, learned counsel appearing for the respondent submits that another proceeding, instituted by the respondent for custody of the younger son under Section 25 of the Guardians & Wards Act, 1890 [1890 Act], is pending before the court of the Additional Principal Judge, Family Court No.1, Meerut. It is prayed that since the divorce proceeding case is being transferred, the said application filed under the 1890 may also be transferred to the same Court. 8. Hence, the transfer petition is allowed.
