Its in your own interest to appear through a lawyer and give your consent if you dont have objection for the case to be transferred. It will show your bonafide and good conscience on record. Non appearance may of course result in passing exparte but also in presenting your non cooperation which could be used against you in not only supreme Court but also in trial court.

As the wife has approached Supreme Court for transfer of case from one Court to another, the procedure is as follows
The petition will be listed for hearing.
Upon arguments, the Court may admit the petition and issue notice to respondents.
Upon receipt of notice, the respondents are free to file a counter indicating reasons why the petition should be dismissed.
Thereafter, the petition will be heard in Court on a date fixed.
You see free to appear in Court with your lawyer. If you don't then an ex parte order may be passed.
It takes about 3 to 6 months.
