Quick Summary: The court decided to move a divorce case to a more convenient location for Kallem alias Sirigiri Divya, considering her financial and social situation. This decision helps her manage the case better while taking care of her child.

The Case Begins

This story revolves around Kallem alias Sirigiri Divya and Kallem Prabhakar, who got married in a church ceremony on May 31, 2018. They have a daughter born on March 29, 2019. Things took a turn when Divya faced pressure for more dowry and was eventually kicked out of her home.

Seeking Divorce

Kallem Prabhakar filed for divorce (O.P.No.9 of 2024) in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri. Meanwhile, Divya, now living with her parents, found it hard to attend court sessions far from her new home.

"The person asking for help is completely dependent on her parents for taking care of herself and her young child."

The Transfer Request

Divya asked to move the case to Jangaon, where she had already filed other related cases. Her lawyer mentioned past important court decisions that focus on making things easier for the wife in such situations.

Prabhakar’s Opposition

Prabhakar was against this move. He claimed Divya didn’t want to live with him and often argued, leading her to leave. He felt the request to move the case was just a way to delay things.

Court’s Consideration

Justice Renuka Yara looked into the situation. Both Divya and Prabhakar have limited incomes, making travel tough. However, the court focused on Divya's situation as a mother with no income.

"The social and financial status of the wife and her inconvenience have to be given priority."

The Decision

In the end, the court agreed to Divya’s request, moving the divorce case to Jangaon. This decision helps her better manage her responsibilities and attend court proceedings.
