Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted a transfer of the Divorce Petition from Agra to Delhi under the Transfer of Proceedings Act, considering the wife's circumstances, including her father's illness and her responsibilities as a mother to a young child. The Court noted that the respondent had been given sufficient opportunity to participate but chose not to appear. The transfer was deemed necessary to ensure the wife's ability to contest the suit effectively.
