0 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA CIVIL ORIGINAL JURISDICTION TRANSFER PETITION (CIVIL) NO. 391 OF 2011PALLAVI MODI GUPTA PETITIONER VERSUSAMAN GUPTA RESPONDENT O R D E R On hearing learned senior counsel for the parties and on going through the materials on record, we are satisfied that the prayer of the petitioner, the estranged wife in the matrimonial proceeding, for transfer of the case outside Delhi is justified and is fit to be allowed to an extent. However, having regard to the past experiences of the respondent, the husband, and his apprehensions, we may not compel him to go to Bhagalpur, where the case is requested to be transferred on behalf of the petitioner. Instead, we feel that the proper course would be to transfer the case to Patna for trial by a competent court there. ...2/- -2- We, accordingly, direct transfer of HMA caseNo.5 of 2011 titled `Aman Gupta vs. Pallavi ModiGupta' pending before the court of AdditionalPrincipal Judge, Family Courts, Rohini, Delhi to theFamily Court, Patna, Bihar. Let the record of the case be transferred to theFamily Court, Patna, Bihar without any delay. The transfer petition is allowed accordingly. ....................J.
