Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted the transfer petition filed by the wife, stating that the pending Section 498A IPC petition in Jharkhand provided sufficient grounds for the transfer. The Court held that the matrimonial suit should be moved to facilitate the proceedings, thereby allowing the transfer of Matrimonial Suit No.165/2006 from Burdwan, West Bengal to Bokaro, Jharkhand. This decision underscores the importance of convenience in legal proceedings involving family matters.
