In Brief
A wife sought transfer of divorce proceedings from a court in Sirohi, Rajasthan to Gandhinagar, Gujarat where she resided, citing distance of 237 km and hardship in defending the case. The Supreme Court allowed the transfer petition under Section 25 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court found that transfer was just and appropriate given the petitioner's residence in Gujarat and lack of opposition from the husband. The divorce case was transferred to the Additional Civil Judge & JMFC at Gandhinagar.
