O R D E R
Dated, this the 22th November, 2023
The petitioner/wife seeks transfer of O.P.
No.1602/2023 on the files of Family Court,
Neyyattinkara to the Family Court,
Thiruvananthapuram. The transfer is premised on
the ground that the petitioner/wife is residing
in the jurisdictional limits of the Family Court,
Thiruvananthapuram. O.P.Nos.1774/2023 and
2157/2023 filed by the petitioner/wife are also
pending before the Family Court,
Thiruvananthapuram.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner relied
on the judgment of the Honourable Supreme Court
in Sumita Singh v. Kumar Sanjay & another [(2001)
10 SCC 41], to emphasise that convenience of the
wife is surely a matter to be looked into, while
fixing the forum for adjudication of matrimonial
disputes.

3. Having heard the learned counsel appearing on
both sides and having considered the attendant
facts and circumstances, this Transfer Petition
is allowed. Accordingly, O.P. No.1602/2023
pending before the Family Court, Neyyattinkara is
directed to be transferred to the Family Court,
Thiruvananthapuram. The transferor court shall
transmit all records to the transferee court,
forthwith.
