SANGEETA KUMARI vs PRABHAKAR PRASAD SINGH — T.P.(C) No. 395/2001

Case Summary: T.P.(C) No. 395/2001 Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the transfer petition on 17 January 2002. Original Suit No. 50/2000 (matrimonial dissolution case filed by respondent-husband Prabhakar Prasad Singh in Muzaffarpur District Court) was transferred to B.Deoghar District Court, Jharkhand. The court found transfer justified as the petitioner-wife is dependent on elderly parents in B.Deoghar, lacks independent income, and faces an overnight journey requirement between the two courts. Next Steps: Parties directed to appear before the transferee court on 26 February 2002. The Muzaffarpur District Judge was ordered to transfer case records to B.Deoghar District Judge, who may either try the suit himself or assign it to a competent court within his jurisdiction. No costs awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
