Since Mr. Brajesh Kumar and Mr. Ajay Kumar Talesara, Advocates have entered appearance on behalf of the respondent, service of notice is, therefore, complete.

This is an application for transfer of Matrimonial (T.S.) Case No. 1 of 2006 titled Dharmendra Kumar Gupta v. Arti Devi @ Pinki Devi and Anr., pending in the Court of District Judge, Palamu at Daltanganj, within the State of Jharkhand, to the Family Court at Patna, within the State of Bihar.

Having heard the learned Counsel for the parties and after considering the materials on record including the statements made in the application for transfer, we are of the view that since the petitioner is a lady having a minor male child, it would be difficult for her to attend the court at Palamu, Daltanganj which is within the State of Jharkhand and quite a distance from Patna where she is now residing with her child, we allow this application for transfer and the proceedings now pending being Matrimonial (T.S.) Case No. 1 of 2006 in the Court of District Judge, Palamu at Daltanganj within the State of Jharkhand be transferred to the Family Court of Patna within the State of Bihar. The District Judge, Palamu at Daltanganj is directed to send the records of the aforesaid matrimonial case at an early date preferably within six weeks from the date of supply of a copy of this order to him. The application for transfer is thus allowed. There will be no order as to costs.
