usually the case is depends upon the where the offence committed but in the case of 498A and other cases it will be at the residence of the victim and you can seek the Honourable High court of andhra pradesh to dispense your presence by conveying the difficulties

Dear,

Yes. The case may be transferred from West Godavari District to the concerned court of jurisdiction under Ranga Reddy District limits. For this, you need to file transfer petition in High Court at Hyderabad and seek transfer of the case. The High Court will transfer the case and also grant stay in the proceedings pending before the magistrate court at Bhimadolu till the disposal of the transfer petition.

Hi
In general, in 498A case is not transferable by virtue of it being a criminal case.
However you can ask the high court to quash the case if you have strong reasons to believe the case is a false one.
