Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the transfer petition filed by the wife, seeking to transfer matrimonial proceedings from Tis Hazari Court, Delhi to Jalgaon, Maharashtra, citing the hardships faced due to her responsibilities as a mother and the health conditions of her parents. The Court emphasized the lack of maintenance for both the petitioner and her daughter, and the impracticality of traveling 1260 kilometers for court hearings. The transfer was granted to ensure the convenience and welfare of the petitioner and her child, with costs awarded to the petitioner.
