In Brief
A wife sought to transfer her husband's divorce petition from a court in Madhya Pradesh to a family court in Rajasthan (where she resides) to avoid travel hardship. Although sympathetic to her proximity concerns, the Supreme Court declined the transfer because the divorce case had reached an advanced stage with evidence nearly complete. Dismissing the petition, the Court directed the husband to reimburse Rs. 4,000 per court appearance as transportation charges, ensuring the wife could participate without financial burden while allowing the proceedings to conclude expeditiously at their current location."
