Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ordered the transfer of Divorce Petition No. 793 of 2007 from the Family Court at Allappuzha to the Family Court at Bangalore, citing the parties' current residences in Bangalore and Chennai, and the husband's employment in the UAE. The Court emphasized the need for convenience in proceedings, directing the Family Court at Allappuzha to transmit records within two months and the Bangalore court to decide the case within one year of receiving the records. No costs were awarded in this transfer application.
