In Brief
In this case, the wife sought to transfer her husband's petition under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act from the Family Court at Gorakhpur to the Family Court at Bhopal. The husband did not appear or oppose the transfer despite being served notice. The Supreme Court, having examined the wife's pleadings and submissions, found the transfer request justified. It granted the petition, directing the Gorakhpur Family Court to transmit the entire case record to Bhopal immediately, with instructions to the transferee Court to decide the matter by 31 December 2022.
