Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the transfer of custody proceedings from Gurgaon to Mumbai was warranted due to the convenience of the parties involved, particularly the petitioner-wife residing in Mumbai and the respondent not residing in Gurgaon. The Court clarified that the earlier compromise did not confer exclusive jurisdiction to the Gurgaon court for custody matters, but rather indicated that the pending guardianship case should be decided there. The transfer was deemed necessary to alleviate the difficulties faced by the petitioner in traveling for hearings, thus allowing the transfer petition to be granted.
