In Brief
Pooja Rathod sought transfer of her husband's matrimonial petition from the Family Court in Chennai (Tamil Nadu) to the Family Court in Hyderabad (Telangana), where she resides over 600 km away. The Court granted the transfer petition under Section 25 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, finding that the distance created genuine hardship for the petitioner to attend hearings in Chennai, while the respondent could reasonably prosecute the case at Hyderabad. The transfer was granted in the interest of justice and expediency. Both parties were directed to appear before the Telangana court.">
