In Brief
A single mother employed as a teacher challenged the High Court's rejection of her application to transfer matrimonial and maintenance cases from Maddur to the Family Court at Mysore, where her 9-year-old son studied and related maintenance proceedings were pending. The Supreme Court allowed her appeal, finding that her employment, child care responsibilities at Mysore, and the consolidation of related litigation justified the transfer. The Court set aside the High Court's order and directed the transfer of both cases to the Family Court at Mysore.
