In Brief
This transfer petition sought the relocation of a divorce case from the Family Court at Thane, Maharashtra to Mangalore, Karnataka, where the wife-petitioner resides. The husband did not object to the transfer. The Supreme Court allowed the petition, citing the considerable distance between the courts and the petitioner's need for effective defence. The Court directed that the matter be transferred to the competent Family Court at Mangalore and called upon both parties to cooperate for expeditious disposal.
