Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order transferring a civil suit under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure, holding that the reasons provided by the respondent, an elderly lady, did not constitute sufficient grounds for transfer. The Court emphasized that the respondent had initiated the suit in Faridabad and had actively pursued it for two years before seeking transfer. The Court directed the trial court at Faridabad to decide the suit within four months, ensuring no unnecessary adjournments are granted.
