Transfer Petition Vs Section 24 CPC: Supreme Court Or High Court — Where Should You File?
The correct forum for transferring a civil or matrimonial case depends mainly on where the two courts are located. Section 24 CPC generally empowers the High Court or District Court to transfer or withdraw proceedings within its jurisdiction, while Section 25 CPC allows the Supreme Court to transfer civil proceedings from a court in one state to a court in another state. In either situation, the applicant must present genuine grounds showing that the transfer is necessary for the ends of justice.
