In Brief
Priyanka Arya sought transfer of her matrimonial case (HMA No. 109 of 2020, titled "Ashutosh Arya vs. Priyanka Arya") from the Family Court in South East Saket, Delhi to the Family Court in Nainital, Uttarakhand. The Supreme Court granted the transfer petition, finding it appropriate given that both parties' parents were from Haldwani, the husband was posted in Delhi, and the wife was pursuing her Ph.D. in Himachal Pradesh. The Court directed the transferee court to decide the matter expeditiously and instructed the Registry to transmit the record and issue orders to both courts immediately."
