Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in rejecting the transfer of a petition under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The Court found sufficient grounds to transfer the case from the District Judge, Ropar to the District Judge, Ludhiana, emphasizing the need for a fair trial. Consequently, the civil appeal was allowed, and the transfer was ordered.
