Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Transfer Petitions filed by the estranged wife seeking to transfer a criminal case under Section 498-A IPC from Cyberabad to Indore. The Court held that the transfer of a criminal case solely for the convenience of the complainant is not justified, as it may infringe upon the accused's right to a fair trial and proper defense. The Court emphasized that the presence of all accused parties is essential in such proceedings, leading to the dismissal of the petitions.
