Smt. Sriparna Banerjee v. Sudeep Banerjee
Case brief
What is this about?
Sriparna Banerjee v. Sudeep Banerjee, Transfer Petition (Civil) No. 62 of 2025, High Court of Jharkhand at Ranchi (Neutral ID: 2026:JHHC:2903), decided 04.02.2026 by Pradeep Kumar Srivastava, J. — transfer of a pending matrimonial suit (Original (Matrimonial) Suit No. 756 of 2022) from Jamshedpur to Dhanbad refused; convenience of the petitioner alone is not a reasonable ground where the petitioner works at Calcutta and the respondent resides at Jamshedpur and works from home; JHALSA mediation reported unsettled; transfer petition dismissed.
What did the court decide?
As the petitioner works at Calcutta and the opposite party resides at Jamshedpur and is engaged through work from home, there is no reasonable ground to transfer the case from Jamshedpur to Dhanbad merely as per the convenience of the petitioner. ¶14
