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 the 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 appear before the District Mediation Centre in Vellore to explore the possibility of resolving their disputes. The Mediation Centre reported that the parties had appeared and were advised, and they subsequently filed a joint compromise memo indicating their willingness to live together with their children in their native village after consulting their elders. Given this reconciliation, the court found that there was no need for further proceedings in the transfer petition, which was thus disposed of. The court concluded that the matter was resolved amicably, and the transfer was deemed unnecessary.
