Where court allowed transfer from one state to another state

only if the court presently trying the matter doesn't have territorial jurisdiction over the matter. transfer from one state to other can only be done by Supreme Court.

Dear Querist,

 

Transfer of a case particularly in a matrimonial disputes would largely be guided by the convenience / inconvenience of the parties. Secondly, in ordinary circumstances, in a criminal case, such requested transfer is not routinely entertained by the Supreme Court. Statistics of previous such transfer sought by the husband/Case laws may not help because of more than one reasons. Correct opinion can only be given after persuing documents and understanding the facts. It may also be noted that allowing transfer is totally a discretionary jurisdiction of the Hon'ble  Supreme Court and it would largely depend on the facts and circumstances than case laws alone.

 

Trust this would suffice.

Transfer of cases from jurisdiction of one High Court (and not state) to another by Supreme Court depends upon number of factors as explicitly explianed by Mr. Robin, AOR., which I do appreciate and agree in principle.

Precedents will be of no or little use to litigants. Finding a lawyer in this club will be your own discretion.

 

1. Please post some 498a proceedings where court allowed transfer of case from one state to another, in favour of husband?

 

 

Generally the wife files a 498A in the city/town where her matrimonial home is and then gets it transferred to her hometown. Generally it depends on various factors. The trial has to be "Ordinarily" carried out in the place where the cause of action happens. 

 

 

Peruse the complaint, the PW statements and where the acts of alleged offences have been committed. Even if one of the alleged offences have been committed in the place where you want the case to be transferred, then the court in that place will have the jurisdiction to try the case there.

 

 

There are various factors also - Like if you can prove that your life is at risk in the place of your wife then the case may be transferred.

 

 

Judges sometimes/manytimes make mistakes, they do not follow proper procedure. You can claim that the the trial is not going on as per law, becasue the other party is influencing the court or he court is not being fare to you - this can be one ground.

 

 

If most of the alleged offences have been committed in the place, where she recides, then there are less chances that the case may be transferred.
