Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court of Madhya Pradesh erred in transferring a case without providing the appellant-wife an opportunity to be heard, violating the principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that the order under Section 498A IPC should not have been made without affording a hearing to the affected party. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the matter for fresh disposal, ensuring that all parties, including the appellant, are heard.
