In Brief
The wife sought to transfer her husband's matrimonial petition from Chennai Family Court to Hyderabad Family Court, citing the 600+ km distance and impracticality of repeatedly travelling to Chennai to contest the case. The husband opposed the transfer. The Supreme Court, considering the parties' convenience and the interest of justice under Section 25 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, allowed the transfer to Hyderabad, noting that it was feasible for the husband (plaintiff in the original suit) to prosecute the case there, while the wife's residence in Hyderabad made local proceedings practical and just.">
