Prasanna Kasini vs The State Of Telangana

The Supreme Court examined the propriety of transferring a criminal complaint case initiated by the wife against her husband to a different court at the husband's request. The appellant contended that the transfer order was passed ex parte without considering her difficulties as a woman prosecuting the case far from her residence, and highlighted the husband's deceitful conduct. The Court emphasized the need to consider the hardship faced by the complainant, especially in matrimonial disputes, before ordering such transfers. The judgment underscores the principle that transfer orders should not be mechanical and must account for the parties' circumstances to ensure justice.
