Outcome

¶29

Issue for consideration

Whether the High Court may, under Section 24 CPC, transfer FCOP No. 553 of 2024 between Family Courts within the same district (Ranga Reddy), or whether such intra-district transfer falls to be dealt with by the District Court (Principal District Judge, Ranga Reddy District).

¶28

Court's answer

Section 24 of the CPC, while vesting power to transfer matters from one Court to another within the same district or different districts, also vests power in the District Court to deal with transfers within the same district; therefore the matter (a matrimonial dispute sought to be transferred between Family Courts within Ranga Reddy District) can be dealt with by the learned Principal District Judge, Ranga Reddy District.

¶28

Tr.C.M.P. No. 127 of 2025 is disposed of, directing the petitioner to file an appropriate petition before the proper forum; there is no order as to costs, and miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in the petition stand closed.
