Have you filed a case against your wife, if no you can't seek transfer petition.. If you file a case for divorce, then you can seek transfer. That case at Mysore can squash it at high Court, because no jurisdiction to entertain the case without any cause of Action.

You can file by questioning the proper jurisdiction . Consult advocates to file writ petition at High Court for seeking transfer of the case by mentioning about the proper jurisdiction before the court as per the provision of law under the act.

1. Here you did not mention the jurisdiction details of your matrimonial home.

2. In case, if the DV case not filed in the jurisdiction police station where the incident occurred then you can get order from court for the transfer of the case to the jurisdictional court where the incident occurred.
