Case Note & Summary
The transfer petition was filed by the petitioner-wife seeking the transfer of H.M.P. No.289 of 2005 from the Court of learned Civil Judge, Senior Division, Nasik, Maharashtra, to the Family Court at Vellore District, Tamil Nadu. During the proceedings, the Supreme Court directed the parties to attend mediation at the District Mediation Centre, Vellore.

Given this positive development, the court found that further proceedings in H.M.P. No.289 of 2005 were unnecessary and decided to close the case. The transfer petition was disposed of accordingly.
