Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order transferring a divorce petition from Sangrur to Bathinda, emphasizing the need for discretion in favor of the husband, who is caring for a nine-year-old child suffering from a malignant disease. The Court held that the peculiar facts warranted the transfer of the case back to Sangrur for proper adjudication. The appeal was allowed with no costs awarded.
