Judgment
Heard learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Sajjad Khan, learned counsel for the opposite party.
Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that applicant is wife of opposite party and residing at Prayagraj and opposite party has filed Original Suit No.640 of 2023 (Tanveerul Haque vs. Sadiya Sayeed) before Family Court, Kaushambi. He next submitted that due to fear and dire consequences to applicant, she is unable to attend the Court proceedings at District Kaushambi on each date fixed and defend effectively. He lastly submitted that Apex Court has taken constant view that in such cases convenience of the wife has to be taken into consideration. In support of his contention, he has placed reliance upon the judgments of the Hon'ble Apex Court in the cases of Mona Aresh Goel vs. Aresh Satya Goel, (2000) 9 SCC 255, Sumita Singh vs. Kumar Sanjay and another, (2001) 10 SCC 41, Rajni Kumari v. Raghvinder Sahay alias Babu, (2011) 11 SCC 176 and Vaishali Shridhar Jagtap vs. Shridhar Vishwanath Jagtap, (2016) 14 SCC 356 respectively.
Sri Sajjat Khan, learned counsel for the opposite party has opposed the submission, but could not dispute the legal and factual submission made by the learned counsel for the applicant.
I have considered rival submissions advanced by learned counsels for parties and perused the records as well as judgments relied upon by counsel for applicant. Facts of the case are not disputed and controversy involved in the present case is squarely covered by the judgments relied upon by counsel for applicant.
