Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court granted the wife's transfer petition under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure, allowing the transfer of Divorce Petition No. 677/2006 from Raebareli to Bokaro. The Court found that the wife's inability to contest the suit in Raebareli due to lack of local support constituted sufficient grounds for the transfer. The ruling emphasizes the importance of ensuring access to justice for parties unable to travel for legal proceedings.
