Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ordered the transfer of a divorce petition filed under Section 13(1)(ia) of the Hindu Marriage Act from the Civil Judge (S.D.) in Palghar to the Family Court in Lucknow, considering the circumstances of the case and the petitioner's request. The respondent-husband had raised objections to the transfer, but the Court found sufficient grounds to allow the transfer. The decision emphasizes the importance of convenience for the petitioner in family law matters.
