                 the proceedings in H.M.O.P.No.159 of 2020 on the file of the learned Family

                 Court, Madurai and to transfer the same to the file of the learned Family Court,

                 Vilupuram, Vilupuram District.



                           2.The respondent/wife in Tr.C.M.P(MD) No.337 of 2020 has filed

                 M.C.No.7 of 2020 before the file of the Family Court, Viluppuram for

                 maintenance. The petitioner/husband in Tr.C.M.P(MD) No.120 of 2021 has filed

                 HMOP No.159 of 2020 before the learned Family Court, Villupuram District, for

                 the sole bread-winner of the family and he has to take care of his parents and the

                 day today needs. In such circumstances, it is difficult for the petitioner to attend

                 the case hearings in M.C.No.7 of 2020. Therefore, he seeks transfer of the said

                 petition to the file of the Family Court, Madurai, to be tried along with

                 H.M.O.P.No.159 of 2020.
