Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court denied the petitioner's request to transfer divorce proceedings from the Family Court in Bombay to Palanpur, Gujarat. The Court emphasized the importance of the husband's presence in Bombay due to his medical practice and the care required for his ailing mother. Additionally, the Court noted that the majority of witnesses were based in Bombay and that the husband would cover the wife's travel expenses, making the transfer unnecessary. Consequently, the petition was dismissed.
