Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Transfer Petition filed by Neha Arun Jugadar and another, seeking to transfer MACT No. 138 of 2009 from Gautam Budh Nagar, U.P. to Pune, Maharashtra, on the grounds of jurisdiction. The Court held that a transfer can only occur if both courts have jurisdiction, and if a party claims that the court lacks jurisdiction, they must seek dismissal in that court rather than transfer. The petitioners were advised to apply for dismissal based on jurisdictional grounds in the original court.
