in DV cases case is filed as under-

where the person aggrieved permanently or temporarily resides or carries on business or is employed; or in this case bombay

the opposite party resides or carries on business or is employed; or (in this case indore)

where the the cause of action has arisen, (in this case )

so your case can be filed in bombay or indore.

1. You need not break your head.

2. Which place is most convenient to the wife, then choose it file there.

3. Let the husband fight for jurisdiction, it is not so easy. If he requires trasnfer then he has to go the Supreme

Court.. The best is move the application as early as possible and start fighting with the interim maintenance which the court may award.

Her personal presence is not necessary on each date

It is sufficient if her lawyer is appearing on her behalf

Further in Bombay DV cases take 5 years to be disposed of

Disposal would be faster in smaller cities

She can apply to SC for transfer of case as she is now residing in Bombay

Respected sir...

An Application for transfer of Suit under Section 25 of the Code of Civil Procedure

Section 25 of the Code of Civil Procedure enables the Supreme Court to transfer any Case, appeal or other proceedings from High Court or other civil court in one State to a High Court or other civil court in any other State. This power may be exercised by the Supreme Court if it is satisfied that an order under this Section is expedient for the ends of justice. Hence wide powers are given to the Supreme Court to order a transfer if it feels that the ends of justice so require.In this you have to mention that you are not capable to travel so long you can take any certificate from doctor that will also help you..

Thanku

1. Under DV Act irrespective of where the acts of domestic violence took place, the wife can file the case where she resides. So she can file the case at Place A if she resides there to seek the right to residence in Place B.

2. Why does wife even have to go to court on every date of hearing? Her personal presence in the court in DV case is required only at the time of her evidence.

Now Wife wants to file DV case against her Husband , Mother in Law and Father in law with Prayers therein (a) to direct Respondents to allow her to stay in Shared House at Indore (Madhya Pradesh) and (b) to direct Husband and Mother in law to return her Stridhan and Gold

She, ass the legally wedded wife, can claim residence in the HUF house property in which her husband is having a share.

The stridhan is her own and exclusive property in which only she has a right and nobody has.

Her claim for retrieving her property is justified and legally valid.

Where Wife can file DV case under PWDV Act 2005 ? AND

Which Court has Jurisdiction Either Indore (Madhya Pradesh) OR Bangalore. (Karnataka) OR Bombay Maharashtre ?

Since she apprehends dange rto her life, she can very well file a DV case in Mumbai where she currently resides or in the place where she started her matrimonial life (Indore) or in the place where she lastly resided with her husband (Bangalore) because it is reported that she was given cruel treatment at both the places and also there are incidences of domestic violence at both the places.

Wife was wrongly advised in 2016 and she herself has filed case in Indore but now she finds it difficult to travel from Bombay to Indore

She should have thought about it that time itself, this is called sas lack of planning.

Even now she can file a transfer petition at supreme court to transfer this case to Mumbai from Indore

Now on which ground she can apply in S.C. for transfer of DV case from Indore to Bombay

Lack of funds and inability to undertake frequent travel to such a distant place
