Whether F.C.O.P. No. 116 of 2021 was open to challenge on the sole ground of lack of territorial jurisdiction — the couple having last resided at Medchal-Malkalgiri District while respondent No.1 lives within Saroornagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District — such that the case should be transferred to the Family Court, Medchal-Malkajgiri at Kushaiguda.

Court's answer

Though the couple might have lived in Medchal-Malkalgiri, on account of the residence of respondent No.1 in Ranga Reddy District, the Additional Family Court, Ranga Reddy had jurisdiction to try the said FCOP.

Ratio / Principle

There are no grounds for transfer of the FCOP solely on the basis of lack of jurisdiction.

Detailed headnote1 paragraphs
