Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that when a petitioner has filed a criminal complaint in a specific jurisdiction, it is appropriate to transfer related divorce proceedings to that jurisdiction for convenience. The Court directed the transfer of the divorce case from Samastipur to Hajipur, where the petitioner resides and has initiated legal action. The appeal was allowed without costs, emphasizing the importance of jurisdictional convenience in family law matters.
