The Hon’ble Court, furrther held that, while considerring transfer in matrrimonial matters, the Courts haave to take into consideration the economic sounddness of both the parties, the soocial strata of the spouses and thheir behavioural pat tern, their standard of life prioor to the marriage and subsequuent thereto and the circumstances of both the partiees in eking out their livelihood anda under whose prrotective umbrella they are seeeking their sustenance to life. TheT Hon’ble Court aalso emphasized that where multtiple proceedings between the soome parties are pendding before different Courts innvolving common questions, itt is desirable that thhey should be tried together b y the same Court, so as to avvoid multiplicity of pproceedings and conflicting decissions.

Appplying the aforesaid principles tto the facts of the present case, thist Court finds thatt the applicant-wife is residing wwith her parents at Dasuya, has no independent soource of income; already proosecuting proceedings under the MOHMED ATIK 2026.07.16 09:50 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order/judgment 4 TATATATA No.98No.98No.98No.98 ofofofof 20220220220226262626 Protection of WWomen from D.V. Act, the mmaintenance proceedings and the criminal case at Dasuya. Requiring her to conteest the present civil suit at Amrittsar would result inn unnecessary hardship, finanncial burden and multiplicity of proceedings. Onn the contrary, transfer of the ccivil suit at Dasuya would neitther prejudice the reespondents or cause them any iirreparable inconvenience, while it would facilitate effective adjudication of all d isputes between the parties at oneo place and obviatte the possibility of conflicting fifindings.
