Hi,
High court has the authority to transfer the case and you may approach high court citing all reasons.
I filed a HMA divorce case in 2016 against my wife on mental cruelty grounds. My wife, thru HC, then transferred the divorce case to their native town . She then filed the RCR case as well as CrPC 125 (Maintenance) against me in her place. I'm fed up on travelling 270 Kms for every hearing, 4 times a month which has affected by health condition badly. My wife's family is very influential and they literally 'bought' my lawyer. My wife's advocate is a senior guy with very good political connections. Is there a way to transfer the case to a neutral venue/nearby town (120 Kms from her home & 160 Kms from my home) citing medical ailments OR any other reason? I'm affected by disc bulge in the neck and possibly some nerve compression. Shifting to the neutral venue (Salem, TN) is easy because I can travel by train (instead of bus which jolts more than train). Doing so would also help me avoid their rowdy lawyer and their influence in their area. Please advise.

Hi,

Sir u file an application that ..(I'm affected by disc bulge in the neck and possibly some nerve compression.)
and submit medial reports .. proscription.. medicine bills ect .. and pray for the same to Honerable court.
Your appeal won't stand as a woman can file a divorce petition from anywhere in India after she leaves the matrimonial home.
So you need to attend the court where the case is transferred.
File SLP in SC against HC order
Seek orders to transfer case to neutral place
3) mention that wife comes from influential family having good political connections
4) that you suffer from health problems unable to travel
>>File SLP in SC against HC order Thank you sir. But is it possible to do this after we've given our consent for transfer to their place (in 2016 itself), and the hearings are going on there. What are the chances for me (husband) for winning the transfer case against an (unemployed) wife
If you gave consent to transfer and participated in hearings your appeal would be dismissed
You can seek video conferencing facilities
Sir she is unemploye..and if u submit your health issues and medical reports.. and pray to judge that she is not working.. she can travel...but I m full time working.. and traveling 4 times in a month... It's really very tuff for me ...
As she is non working..she can travel..
At this stage you may file a fresh transfer petition before the HC only under section 24 of the CPC based on the new grounds that have emerged.
Also disclose the previous transfer petition and attach your medical documents.
Regards

You have lost the chance for this option when you lost the transfer case filed by her before the high court.
Since the matter has already been decided by high court, no application from your side will be entertained by high court at this stage.
Even if you prefer an appeal before presume court, only the circumstances prevailing at the time of filing the original transfer petition will be taken into consideration and not the subsequent developments.
If you suspect the integrity of your advocate you can change the lawyer at any time.

Dont be misguided by the incorrect advises.
Your case may not succeed even if you prefer a SLP or an appeal before supreme court because the grievances against the orders in the transfer petition is missing since you have already given your consent for this transfer, hence you have lost the opportunity at that time itself.
