In Brief
Shaira Bano filed a transfer petition seeking to transfer a restitution petition from the Family Court to the Supreme Court following a matrimonial dispute with her husband, Rizwan Ahmad. However, the husband subsequently granted her triple talak (instant divorce under Islamic law). The Supreme Court found the transfer petition infructuous, as the foundation for restitution—the subsistence of marriage—no longer existed. Instead of adjudicating the matter itself, the Court directed the wife to approach the Family Court at Kashipur, Uttarakhand to seek visitation rights and ancillary reliefs, and requested expedited disposal with legal aid assistance.
