Transfer Case – Civil
At Supreme Court Justice, we specialize in filing and contesting civil transfer cases before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India under Section 25 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908.
A transfer case (civil) is filed when a party seeks to transfer a civil matter—such as a divorce, restitution of conjugal rights, maintenance, property, or family dispute—from one State to another for reasons of convenience, safety, or fair access to justice.
When Can a Civil Case Be Transferred
The Supreme Court may order the transfer of a case when:
- The petitioner (usually the wife) faces genuine difficulty in attending proceedings in another State or city.
- There is apprehension of bias, threat, or undue influence in the current court’s jurisdiction.
- The transfer is required for expeditious and fair trial.
- Both parties consent to transfer for mutual convenience.
