Judgment Research Format

1. Case Citation

Gandi/Nadupuri Mercy vs. Gandi Naveen Kumar @ Naveen, Transfer Petition (Civil) No. 1664/2025 (Supreme Court of India, Order dated 11-Jun-2025)

2. Issues Raised

• Whether the civil proceedings pending in Jagdalpur should be transferred to another jurisdiction (grounds not specified but likely involve convenience or jurisdiction issues)

• Whether an ex-parte stay on the civil proceedings is warranted (IA No. 143104/2025)

• Exemption from filing other documents (IA No. 143106/2025)

3. Court’s Direction

• Notice to Respondent: The respondent must respond within eight weeks

• Interim Relief: Stay on civil proceedings in Jagdalpur until further notice

4. Legal Significance

• The order demonstrates the Supreme Court's authority to stay lower court proceedings during pendency of transfer petitions

• The ex-parte stay suggests the petitioner presented urgent grounds (e.g., jurisdictional inconvenience, safety concerns) warranting immediate relief

5. Next Steps

• Compliance with the notice by the respondent by 06-Aug-2025

• Further hearing likely to address the transfer petition's merits after respondent's reply

Conclusion

The Supreme Court’s interim order prioritizes judicial efficiency and fairness by halting the civil case in Jagdalpur until the respondent is heard. The case will proceed after the respondent’s reply or expiry of the eight-week notice period.
