In Brief
A wife sought to transfer her husband's divorce petition from a Family Court in Burdwan, West Bengal to a Family Court in Shamli, Uttar Pradesh, where she resides with her parents and has filed a maintenance petition. The husband did not contest the transfer. The Supreme Court allowed the transfer, noting the wife's residence and connection with the Shamli jurisdiction, and the absence of the husband's opposition. The husband retained the right to seek modification within three months if he could prove improper service of notice. The case was transferred to the Family Court, Shamli."
