Nitu Devi Somvanshi vs Rajendra Singh Somvanshi @ Tinku

Bench: 2 — Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud, J B Pardiwala

In Brief

This case concerned a wife's petition to transfer family court proceedings from Alwar, Rajasthan to Bhiwani, Haryana. The original suit was titled "Rajendra Singh Somvanshi v. Nitu Devi Somvanshi." The respondent-husband did not object to the transfer. The Supreme Court, exercising its constitutional powers, allowed the transfer petition in the interests of justice and directed the original court to transmit all records to the new court, with instructions to dispose of the matter expeditiously without unnecessary delays.
