Your wife can normally apply that all matrimonial cases be tried in her place of residence i.e. her parent's place, rather than at the place of last matrimonial home. The court will usually accept this argument.
Matrimonial and Family cases can be decided by a Senior Civil Judge, if no dedicated Family Court has not been established for the jurisdiction. Therefore, all the applications can be tried by the Senior Civil Judge, including guardianship and custody applications.

That means, a Senior Civil Judge is competent to try Guardian OP filed under Section 10 of Guardian & Wards Act. Is it Correct? Honorable members please clarify ?

PLEASE REFER THE ACT
Guardians and Wards Act, 1890
9. Court having jurisdiction to entertain application
(1) If the application is with respect to the guardianship of the person of the minor, it shall be made to the District Court having jurisdiction in the place where the minor ordinarily resides.

As clarified by komsat sir, if the application concerns guardianship of a minor then the application has to be made to the District Court and the Senior Civil Judge cannot entertain the application.
However, the Guardians and Wards Act is not applicable, in custody cases for minors between parents. In this case the relevant personal and family law will apply, and the issue can be decided by the family court or the civil judge.

In certain states Civil Judge Sr. Division can decide the Guardianship applications. States like Haryana and Punjab in districts where there is no family courts, Civil Judge Sr. Division decides Guardianship matters.

District Court means the Principal civil Court of original jurisdiction of a district, under whose jurisdiction, G & W application is filed. Different States have designated Civil Court with different nomenclatures, but it means the highest Civil Court of your District or any other subordinate civil court if appointed by the High Court, can act for guardianship.
