Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that due to physical harassment and mental torture by the opposite party-husband the petitioner was

compelled to take refuge in her parental house at Jamshedpur alongwith her two minor children. She does not have any independent source of

income or the necessary fund to engage a counsel to defend the suit at Koderma. Moreover, she is facing great difficulty and hardship in travelling

all alone from Jamshedpur to Koderma. That she has filed a case under Section 498-A and other allied sections of the Indian Penal Code against

the opposite party-husband and others at Jamshedpur and the opposite party-husband is appearing and facing trial in the said case at Jamshedpur

court.

Mr. Shree Nivas Roy, learned counsel appearing on behalf of opposite party-husband has opposed and submitted that the opposite party-husband is

still ready and willing to lead the conjugal life with the petitioner. That due to the adamant attitude of the petitioner the attempts for reconciliation of

the matrimonial dispute has failed. That the petitioner does not want to reside at Koderma. That the opposite partyhusband has also filed a

complaint case against the petitioner being Complaint Case No.160 of 2017. It is contended that no cogent or justified reason is made out by the

petitioner for transfer of the said matrimonial suit.
