It will depend on the merits of the case since other party will be given chance to oppose your petition.

It can be done, however there should be very strong reasons to do it.

If you prove sufficient reason to transfer the case than you cn shift your case. You have to file transfer petition in SC

U urself are initiating divorce proceedings at delhi & plan to shift this case to mumbai after a short gap of 2 months. Why not wait for 2 months & start from mumbai itself?

Coz SC wil like to see the compelling reasons to shift such type of case to mumbai after 2 months of u filing it
