ORDER : 1. Read the office report dated 19th December, 2024, which reveals that service is deemed to have been effected. 2. The marriage between the petitioner, Pratima Kumari, and the respondent, Suraj Kumar, was solemnized on 10th December, 2018. On 11th January, 2019, a girl was born from the wedlock. However, the parties have since drifted apart owing to differences arising between them. 3. The respondent has instituted proceedings under Section 13(1)(A) and 13(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, bearing HMA Petition No.1345 of 2023 titled “Suraj Kumar V. Pratima Kumari” before the Court of District Judge, Family Court, Faridabad, Haryana. 4. On the multiple grounds urged in the petition, the petitioner has sought for transfer of the aforesaid proceedings from the Court of District Judge, Family Court, Faridabad, Haryana to the Court of Competent Jurisdiction at Saran, Bihar. 5. The respondent has neither entered appearance nor has he filed any counter affidavit dealing with the statements/averments made in the transfer petition. We are, thus, inclined to the view that the respondent has no serious objection to grant of the prayer for transfer. 6. We are also otherwise satisfied, having regard to the inconvenience the petitioner is likely to face if the proceedings were continued in the Court of District Judge, Family Court, Faridabad, Haryana which is at a distance of around 1100 kms from her present place of residence, that interest of justice demands grant of the prayer for transfer. 7. Hence, the transfer petition is allowed. HMA Petition No.1345 of 2023 titled “Suraj Kumar V. Pratima Kumari” pending before the Court of District Judge, Family Court, Faridabad, Haryana is transferred to the Family Court at Saran, Bihar. Records of HMA Petition No.1345 of 2023 be transferred to the transferee court immediately. 8. To avoid delay, the parties are directed to appear before the transferee court on 28th January, 2025. If any or both the parties fail to appear on that day, the presiding officer of the transferee court will fix another date of appearance. Thereafter, he shall be free to proceed in accordance with law. 9. The presiding officer shall endeavour to bring about a settlement between the parties through the process of mediation. If the process is unsuccessful, nothing shall preclude the presiding officer to take the proceedings to its logical conclusion on its merits and in accordance with law. 10. Thereafter, he shall be free to proceed in accordance with law. 9. The presiding officer shall endeavour to bring about a settlement between the parties through the process of mediation. If the process is unsuccessful, nothing shall preclude the presiding officer to take the proceedings to its logical conclusion on its merits and in accordance with law. 10. If the respondent is unable to attend the proceedings in person on any occasion, he will be at liberty to seek permission to attend through the virtual mode and if such a permission is sought, the presiding officer of the court may proceed to consider it reasonably. 11. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of.
