How much will a transfer petition in civil case in Supreme Court cost?

[Anonymous]

How much will be the total cost of a transfer petition in a civil case in Supreme Court for getting a civil case transferred from a court in one state to another state’s court?

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

Court fee for filing a transfer petition in the Supreme Court arising out of a matrimonial matter is Rs. 500 per matter to be transferred.

If the transfer petition is other than a petition arising out of a matrimonial matter, then the court fee is Rs. 2500 per matter to be transferred.

In addition to these, the cost for documentation (copies of the petition and other annexures) would generally be in the range of Rs. 2-3 thousand.

Then, there is the fee to be paid to the advocate concerned, which depends on the advocate and can vary from a low range to high range. If you want to file and argue the case in person, then of course you would save the advocate’s fee.
