The Court allowed a transfer petition for a Section 13 divorce case to a specialized judge in another High Court Bench, holding that the respondent's physical presence was not mandatory due to wife's lack of capacity.
Writ Petition No. 701@2016 transferred to Sessions Judge, Court No. 1, Agra; both courts instructed to handle as instructed.
