Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court of Madhya Pradesh erred in transferring the case without providing the appellant-wife an opportunity to be heard, violating the principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that the appellant should have been given a chance to present her case before the transfer of jurisdiction was ordered. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the matter for fresh disposal, ensuring all parties, including the appellant, are heard.
