Transfer of the case from district Court to High Court

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

It is not possible to get the divorce case transferred to the high court. It has to be conducted in the court where the original jurisdiction lies. The high court does not have the jurisdiction to conduct such case in original jurisdiction. Of course, once the divorce case is decided by the district court / family court, the appeal may lie to the high court. But the first court to decide a divorce case is not the high court, as laid down in law.

Secondly, even in the high courts, there is a lot of pendency and matters take years to get decided.
