Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the transfer of Original Petition M.O.P. 136 of 2007 and O.P. 197 of 2007 from the Family Court at Palakkad, Kerala, to the Family Court at Bangalore, Karnataka, emphasizing the welfare of the minor daughter who resides with the petitioner mother in Bangalore. The Court noted that the mother's employment and the child's schooling in Bangalore necessitated the transfer, and that attending court proceedings in Palakkad would disrupt the child's education. The decision was made in light of the best interests of the child, as per established principles in family law.
