Judgment text excerpt

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 distinguished the current case from Y. Abraham Ajith v. Inspector of Police, emphasizing that the factual circumstances did not support the application of Section 178(c) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, regarding the continuance of offences. The Court concluded that the transfer was justified as no relevant cause of action arose within the jurisdiction of Chennai.
