Neeti Chatterji vs Rahul Chatterji & Anr

The Supreme Court allowed the transfer petition filed by the petitioner-wife to transfer the divorce petition from the Family Court in Mumbai to the District Judge in Delhi, based on a compromise deed entered into by the parties under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The Court held that it was not appropriate to dispose of the pending matters in the Supreme Court and directed the Family Court to send all records to the District Judge, Delhi, facilitating the parties to seek divorce by mutual consent. The transfer petition was thus granted, ensuring the parties could proceed with their application in Delhi.
