Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court denied the transfer of Divorce Petition No.417 of 2005 from the Family Court in Azamgarh to the District Court in Delhi, citing the absence of allegations of harassment against the husband by the wife. However, the Court ordered the husband to pay Rs.5000 towards travel and boarding expenses for the wife for each court appearance in Azamgarh, to be paid at least seven days prior to her attendance. The decision emphasizes the need for valid grounds for transfer under the relevant legal provisions.
