Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a transfer petition under Section 25 of the Code of Civil Procedure, allowing the transfer of Suit No.680 of 1999 from Delhi to Mumbai. The Court held that the transfer was justified due to the ongoing matrimonial disputes and the harassment faced by the petitioner, which included allegations of physical assault and dowry demands. The Court emphasized the need for a fair trial in a jurisdiction where the petitioner felt secure, ultimately prioritizing her welfare and convenience in the proceedings.
