- W.P. No. 40709 of 2026 filed by Eminent J R (petitioner) seeking issuance of Transfer Certificates for her minor daughters, Josepa Maria J.E. (Class XII) and Jenifa Maria J.E. (Class IX), without requiring consent from her husband, C.T. Jose Radheesh (5th respondent).

- The petitioner alleges marital dispute, having moved from Ambattur to Chrompet, and claims the 35‑km commute to the current school is untenable. Children expressed desire to stay with mother.
- The husband contended that transferring the children now could cause loss of the current academic year due to lack of available seats in Chrompet schools.

- The writ petition is disposed of with no costs awarded.
