Y.A. Ajit vs Sofana Ajit

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to transfer a case under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, from the District Judge in Kanyakumari to the Family Judge in Chennai. The Court clarified that the jurisdiction for transfer is determined by where the cause of action arose, referencing Section 177 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Court distinguished the present case from Y. Abraham Ajith's case, emphasizing that no continuing offence occurred in Chennai, thus supporting the High Court's order.
