Leena Jayakar Vs A.Xavier Michel @ Anand (SC) (Transfer Petition(C) No. 1762 Of 2014)
Reference may be made to the Order dated 14.9.2015 passed by this Court, which reads as under :-
“By order dated 13.7.2015, with the consent of the parties, the matter was referred to the Supreme Court Mediation Centre to explore the possibility of settlement and the parties were directed to appear before the said Mediation Centre on 11.8.2015. But the petitioner did not attend the mediation on that date. Today, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the matter may be referred to the Mediation Centre at Trivandrum, Kerala. We refuse the prayer of learned counsel appearing for the petitioner to refer the matter to the Mediation Centre at Trivandrum, Kerala. We once again direct both the parties to appear before the Supreme Court Mediation Centre on 24.9.2015. List the matter along with the Mediation Report.” It appears that even on 24.9.2015, the petitioner did not appear before the Supreme Court Mediation Centre. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, we do not find any reason to transfer M.O.P. No. 247 of 2014 titled as Dr. A. Xavier Michel @ Anand versus Dr. Leena Jayakar, pending for adjudication before the Family Court of Podicherry to the Family Court at Thiruvanandapuram, Kerala. This Transfer Petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
