Domestic Violence Act, Section 12 | Video Conferencing Under UP 2020 Rules Eliminates Grounds for Jurisdictional Transfer : Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court has ruled that the availability of video conferencing under Uttar Pradesh's 2020 Court Rules removes any legitimate claim of inconvenience as a basis for transferring Domestic Violence Act cases between districts. This affirms that digital access is a constitutionally sufficient substitute for physical presence, reshaping how litigants across Uttar Pradesh can pursue justice without relocating proceedings.
