Aishwarya Vs A.S.Saravana Karthik Sha1 vide para No.9: "9. The cardinal principle for exercise of power under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure is that the ends of justice should demand the transfer of the suit, appeal or other proceeding. In matrimonial matters, wherever Courts are called upon to consider the plea of transfer, the Courts have to take into consideration the economic soundness of both the parties, the social strata of the spouses and their behavioural pattern, their standard of life prior to the marriage and subsequent thereto and the circumstances of both the parties in eking out their livelihood and under whose protective umbrella they are seeking their sustenance to life. Given the prevailing socio-economic paradigm in the Indian society, generally, it is the wife's convenience which must be looked at while considering transfer." the prayer in the petition for transfer of the case from the file of learned Principal Civil Judge (Senior Division), Narasaraopet found convincing:- 6. Further, considering the submissions made by both sides that the efforts are being made for settlement, the petition is allowed as follows:- i.
