Under Section 25 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the Supreme Court may transfer matrimonial proceedings from one State to another where the petitioner-spouse demonstrates genuine hardship in attending proceedings at a distant forum. As analysed on casestatus.in, non-appearance of the respondent despite service does not bar such relief; the petitioner's grounds alone may suffice. The transfer is granted without prejudice to the merits of the underlying matrimonial dispute.
