In Brief
The Supreme Court allowed a transfer petition filed by a wife seeking to move her divorce case from a court in Sirohi, Rajasthan (237 km away) to a court in Gandhinagar, Gujarat where she resides. The wife argued that the distance made it impractical for her to travel repeatedly to defend the case. Finding the transfer just and appropriate under Section 25 of the CPC and Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, the Court transferred the case from the Additional District Judge at Aburoad, Sirohi to the Additional Civil Judge at Gandhinagar, prioritizing the party's convenience and accessible justice."
