HYDERABAD

THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE RENUKA YARA

TR. CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS PETITION No.323 of 2025

05^th DAY OF MAY, 2026

Between:

Pulli Megha.

…Petitioner

AND

B. Bharani Vamshi Goud.

...Respondent

ORDER:

Heard Sri B. Shiva Ram Sharma, learned counsel for the petitioner

and Sri E. Srinivas Reddy, learned counsel for the respondent. Perused the

entire record.

2. This Tr.C.M.P. is filed under Section 24 of CPC seeking transfer of

F.C.O.P.No.83 of 2025 pending on the file of the learned Senior Civil

Judge, Yadadri Bhongir District, to the file of the learned Judge, Principal

Family Court at Kukatpally.

3. The petitioner-wife got married to respondent-husband on

08.03.2018 at Sonyz Garden, Nizampet Road, Miyapur, Hyderabad.

Thereafter, on account of differences the petitioner registered FIR

No.352/2025 dated 09.07.2025 for the offences under Section 85 of the

RY,J

TRCMP_323_2025

Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023 and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry

Prohibition Act, 1961. The petitioner is resident of Kukatpally living with

her father. She has three sisters, two living in America and other living at

her in-laws house in Hyderabad. The petitioner is taking care of her

diabetic father, who is also suffering with sciatica pain. She cannot leave

her father for very long time to attend Court at Yadadri Bhongir District,

which are about 80kms from her residence. Hence, she filed the present

petition to transfer the said F.C.O.P. to the Courts at Kukatpally, which are

at a distance of 8kms from her residence. Therefore, she prays this Court

to consider the inconvenience of travelling and logistics of looking after her

father in transferring the F.C.O.P. Lastly, the petitioner also apprehends

threat to her safety from the respondent for attending Court at Yadadri

Bhongir District.

4. The respondent filed counter opposing transfer denying all the

grounds cited for transfer with respect to distance, responsibility of the

petitioner in taking care of her father and the threat perception of the

petitioner in attending the Courts at Yadadri Bhongir District.

5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as per the catena of

judgments of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, the convenience of the

wife has to be taken into consideration in transferring petitions involving

matrimonial disputes. Further, reference is made to the order of this Court

in Tr.C.M.P.No.324 of 2025 dated 06.01.2026, wherein it is held that all

the connected cases are pending at Family Courts at Hyderabad and

therefore, the F.C.O.P. therein pending before Family Court, Hanumakonda

District was also ordered to be tried by the Integrated Family Courts at

Hyderabad.

6. While considering the transfer petitions involving matrimonial

disputes the facts of each case are to be taken into consideration for

granting relief. A wife, who is dependent on her husband for maintenance,

a wife, who is incapable of travelling long distances or a wife having

children or a wife, who is constrained due to social status or educational

backwardness are considered from a different lens as compared to women,

who are independent, educated and are well versed with worldly affairs.

7. In the instant case, the petitioner is a doctor, who can earn her own

livelihood and is independent in taking decisions and is not constrained by

social and financial limitations. The transfer petition filed by a person in

such a fact situation is not comparable to the fact situation of the petitioner-

wife in Tr.C.M.P.No.324 of 2025, where she is dependent and was not

capable of traveling alone.

8. Further, the petitioner herein is capable of availing video

9. The F.C.O.P.No.83 of 2025 is pending before the Court of Senior

Civil Judge in the form of civil proceedings, which does not require
