Child Custody India

A Transfer Petition in the Supreme Court may be filed to move certain cases from a court in one state to an appropriate court in another state when the interests of justice require it. In civil and matrimonial matters, such petitions are generally governed by Section 25 CPC, while criminal transfers are dealt with under the applicable criminal procedure law. The Court considers factors such as comparative hardship, safety, financial difficulty, childcare responsibilities, connected proceedings, and access to justice before deciding whether transfer is justified.
