Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the transfer of a matrimonial case from Agra to Dehradun is warranted due to the wife's financial inability to defend the case in Agra, despite the husband's health concerns. The Court emphasized that the respondent can adequately pursue his case in Dehradun, thus allowing the transfer of H.M.A. Case No. 426 of 2008. The decision underscores the importance of accessibility to justice for the financially disadvantaged party in matrimonial disputes.
