2. The matrimony between the petitioner and the respondent was
solemnized on 02.03.2020. From the wedlock, a child was born on
18.09.2021 and unfortunately, the child passed away within three days from
the date of birth. Thereafter, due to disputes and differences, the parties
separated. The wife initiated H.M.O.P.No.12 of 2024 on the file of the
Subordinate Court, Attur, pleading that the husband treated her with cruelty.
Soon thereafter, the husband initiated a proceeding for restitution of
conjugal rights in H.M.O.P.No.12 of 2024 on the file of the Subordinate
Court, Rasipuram.
3. Both the proceedings, having arisen out of same cause of action,
the wife has moved the present Transfer Civil Miscellaneous Petition
seeking for transfer of the proceeding from Rasipuram to Attur. The wife
pleads that she is residing in Attur and as she initiated proceedings first, she
prays that the subsequent proceeding in H.M.O.P.No.12 of 2024 on the file
of the Subordinate Court, Rasipuram to be transferred to Subordinate Court,
Attur and to be heard and disposed of together.

4. Notice was ordered in the petition on 01.07.2024 and
Ms.D.Jeevitha, learned Counsel entered appearance for the respondent.
5. Heard the learned Counsel on either side.
6. The relationship not being in dispute and also the fact that the wife
initiated proceeding first in H.M.O.P.No.12 of 2024, I am of the view that
the subsequently initiated proceeding by the husband should be transferred
and to be tried along with the original proceeding initiated by the wife. This
is because one proceeding is for divorce and the other is for restitution of
conjugal rights and there should not be conflict of judgments between the
two Courts.
7. Accordingly, this Transfer Civil Miscellaneous Petition is allowed.
H.M.O.P.No.12 of 2024, on the file of the Subordinate Court, Rasipuram is
withdrawn and transferred to the file of Subordinate Court, Attur to be heard
and disposed of along with H.M.O.P.No.12 of 2024. No costs.
Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
