In Brief
G.R. Bhuvaneshwari, a teacher and single mother of a 9-year-old child studying in Mysore, sought transfer of matrimonial and maintenance cases from the Civil Judge's court in Maddur to the Family Court at Mysore. The High Court had denied this request. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, noting the appellant's circumstances and pending maintenance proceedings at Mysore. The Court set aside the High Court's order and directed transfer of the cases to the Family Court at Mysore, finding it was in the interests of justice and convenience.
