She is a young girl and there is no member of her family to escort her to that place and, therefore, the case should be transferred to Agartala. It is also contended that Crl. Misc No.184 of 2023 had been filed by her before the Family Court, Agartala under Section 125 Cr.P.C and that the respondent is contesting the same and it would be convenient to transfer the case under the Guardian and Wards Act referred to above to the Court at Agartala.
