In Brief
A wife filed a transfer petition seeking to move her husband's divorce petition from a Family Court in Chennai, Tamil Nadu to one in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. The Supreme Court dismissed the transfer petition, finding no sufficient grounds for relocation. However, in the interest of justice, the Court directed the Chennai Family Court to conduct proceedings online where possible and to schedule convenient dates for the wife's attendance. The Court also directed expeditious disposal of the case.
