ORDER
The petitioner in this transfer petition is the husband, who is the respondent in O.P.No.288/2017 pending on the file of Family Court, Malappuram. The original petition was filed by respondent/wife for dissolution of marriage. The petitioner's request in this petition is for transfer of proceedings from Family Court, Malappuram to Family Court, Kalpetta.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that
the petitioner is a blind person with 100% disability and therefore he cannot travel without the help of others. It is also submitted that he has no earning capacity too.
3. I heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. The respondent in spite of having been served did not file any counter opposing this petition.
4. Considering the submission that the petitioner is a
blind person with 100% disability and cannot travel without the help of others, I am of the opinion that request made by the petitioner for transfer is lawful and reasonable.
In the result, this transfer petition (Civil) is allowed. O.P.No.288/2017 pending on the files of the Family Court, Malappuram is withdrawn and made over to the Family Court, Kalpetta. The Family Court, Malappuram is hereby directed to forward all records immediately to the Family Court, Kalpetta and on receipt of the same, the Family Court, Kalpetta shall fix an early date for appearance of parties and issue notice.
