Transfer Petitions

Filing and contesting transfer petitions for civil, criminal, and matrimonial matters before the Supreme Court and High Courts. A crucial remedy for litigants seeking fair and convenient access to justice.

Whether it's a civil, criminal, matrimonial, or corporate matter, transfer petitions serve as a tool to shift a legal proceeding from one court to another for valid and justifiable reasons.

Our firm has successfully represented clients in transfer petition matters before the Supreme Court of India under Article 139A and High Courts under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC).

What Is a Transfer Petition?

A transfer petition is a legal remedy that allows a party to request the court to shift their ongoing case from one jurisdiction to another. This is done to:

• Ensure a fair trial
• Avoid hardship to either party
• Eliminate the risk of prejudice
• Allow proper access to justice

In India, transfer petitions are commonly filed:

• Before the Supreme Court under Section 25 CPC or Section 406 CrPC
• Before High Courts under Section 24 CPC or Section 407 CrPC

We file transfer petitions related to:

• Divorce proceedings
• Maintenance and alimony claims
