Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, in a transfer petition under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, held that the petitioner-wife's inability to defend her case in Haridwar due to her residing in Lucknow warranted the transfer of the case to the Family Court in Lucknow. The Court emphasized the importance of ensuring that parties can effectively participate in legal proceedings. Consequently, the petition was allowed, and the case records were ordered to be transferred to Lucknow.
