Case Note & Summary
The case involved a transfer petition filed by the petitioner, Gunjan Bansal, who sought to transfer her matrimonial case from Agra to Dehradun. The petitioner, residing with her parents in Dehradun along with her seven-year-old child, argued that her financial condition hindered her ability to defend the case in Agra. The respondent, Atul Bansal, opposed the transfer, citing his health issues, including bronchial asthma, which he claimed would make travel to Dehradun inconvenient. The Supreme Court considered the arguments from both sides and determined that the respondent could adequately pursue his case in Dehradun. Consequently, the court directed the transfer of H.M.A. Case No.426 of 2008 from the Family Court at Agra to the Family Court at Dehradun, allowing the transfer petition.
