In Brief
Mamta Sahu sought transfer of family court proceedings from Pune, Maharashtra to Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh under Section 25 of the Code of Civil Procedure and Order 41 of the Supreme Court Rules, 2013. She submitted that travel to Pune would be difficult as she has a three-year-old daughter. The Supreme Court found the circumstances warrant transfer and approved the petition, directing the family court case to be shifted to Bilaspur, holding that genuine hardship in attending court proceedings is a valid ground for transfer.
