Supreme Court Issues Notice on Hasin Jahan’s Plea to Transfer Matrimonial Cases to Delhi

Hasin Jahan has approached the Supreme Court seeking the transfer of multiple matrimonial proceedings (including her domestic violence case and maintenance proceedings) from West Bengal to Delhi.

She says she has shifted to Delhi for her daughter’s education and overall development, and, since she has no independent income, travelling around 1500 km to attend hearings in West Bengal causes hardship to both of them.

She also argues that Mohammed Shami has the resources to contest the matters in Delhi, and that his family lives in Uttar Pradesh, closer to Delhi.

The Supreme Court has issued notice to Shami on her transfer petitions.
