Summary
- The Kerala High Court has dismissed a transfer petition seeking to move a child custody dispute from the Family Court, Aluva, back to the Family Court, Ernakulam.
- Justice CS Dias emphasized that such a transfer would undermine the state's goal of equitable case distribution following the re-determination of territorial jurisdiction.
- The court noted that convenience for both parties must be balanced, but ultimately upheld the administrative decision made for the larger interest of justice.
- This ruling reinforces the importance of maintaining new jurisdictional boundaries established by the government in family law cases.
