Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed Transfer Petitions concerning the jurisdiction of cases filed in New Delhi versus those in Andhra Pradesh. The Court held that it would be in the interest of justice and convenience to transfer the criminal case and maintenance petition to Hazurabad, Karimnagar District, Andhra Pradesh, as the wife-respondent resides there. The Court emphasized the importance of jurisdiction based on the parties' residence and the location of the cause of action, thereby facilitating easier access to justice for the parties involved.
