Legal Provisions: Transfer petitions in the Supreme Court, especially for matrimonial cases, are governed under Section 25 of the CPC and Section 406 of Cr.P.C, 1974. These sections deal with the transfer of civil and criminal cases before the Supreme Court of India. Transfer of cases from one court to another is an incidental and necessary aspect of the administration of justice. The Supreme Court nowadays is often flooded with matrimonial and divorce transfer petitions.
