Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted the transfer of a divorce petition filed under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act from the Family Court at Haridwar to the Family Court at Lucknow, considering the petitioner's inability to defend her case in Haridwar due to her residing with her parents in Lucknow. The Court emphasized the importance of ensuring that the petitioner has a fair opportunity to present her case. The transfer petition was allowed, and all records were directed to be transmitted to the Lucknow Family Court.
