JUDGEMENT

(1.) PRESENT petition has been filed under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure for transfer of Guardianship Case No. 22/2010 from the Court of learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Jamshedpur to the Court of learned Principal Judge, Jamtara.

(2.) LEARNED counsel for the petitioner submitted that earlier also Matrimonial Suit No. 278/09 has been ordered to be transferred from the Court of learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Jamshedpur to the Court of learned Principal Judge, Jamtara vide order dated 7.1.2011, passed in Transfer Petition (Civil) No. 10/2010. It is further submitted that petitioner is having one minor son, aged about four years and she has to look after her minor son as well as old-aged parents and therefore, she is feeling inconvenience in pursuing the matter at Jamshedpur. Moreover, she has no independent source of income. It is further submitted that the distance between Jamtara and Jamshedpur is about 300 kms. and therefore, she is facing difficulty and hardship in attending the court proceeding and hence, it is prayed that proceedings may be transferred to the Court of learned Principal Judge, Jamtara.

(3.) LEARNED counsel for the opposite party requested that the proceedings of the Matrimonial Suit No. 278/09 and Guardianship Case No. 22/2010 may be ordered to be clubbed together and the court-below may be directed accordingly. Request made by the learned counsel for the opposite party appears to be reasonable as the opposite party-husband will have to travel from Jamshedpur to Jamtara for attending the proceedings. For the sake of convenience, it is desirable that these two proceedings ( Matrimonial Suit No. 278/09 and Guardianship Case No. 22/2010) be clubbed together.
